The Republic of Gorena is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Toller with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.237 billion Gorenans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paquemest. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorenan economy, worth 742 trillion gorenan marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 229,363 gorenan marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Celebrities sit helplessly as they are labeled "pompous womples" by President Toller, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, and bizarre-looking creatures called 'wolfdogs' dominate wildlife preserves. Crime is totally unknown. Gorena's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gorena is ranked 5,965^th in the world and 111^th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 97.93 Atheism Rate.
