The Holy Empire of Gorfo is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.35 billion Gorfoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.0%.

The thriving Gorfoan economy, worth 308 trillion Florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,228 Florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper sales are up, the nation won three wars against Brancaland this weekend, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorfo's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gorfo is ranked 33,153^rd in the world and 1,720^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 77 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
