The Sultanate of GorLeVan is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kody GorLeVan with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.189 billion GorLeVanians, 388 million of whom are zombies, are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GorLeVan City. The average income tax rate is 88.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped GorLeVanian economy, worth 158 trillion GorLeVans a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Gambling. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 37,705 GorLeVans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people of GorLeVan are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the government is cracking down on subversive groups, and aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GorLeVan's national animal is the Giant Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kody GorLeVan.

GorLeVan is ranked 240,627^th in the world and 29^th in The Galactic Union for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 112.51 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
