The Federal Republic of Gorgun is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Juko Latem with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.669 billion Gourgans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghott. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gourgan economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion Neths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 121,817 Neths, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Children searching for cat videos must watch dogs in equal proportion, Gourgan novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Juko Latem, new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, and the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorgun's national animal is the Chameleon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist.

Gorgun is ranked 33,139^th in the world and 2,111^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
