The People's Republic of Gorrp is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Gregory Gorrpinomipliopalolopma with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 975 million Gorrpanynonymians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorrp Gorrp 97. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gorrpianynonymian economy, worth 49.6 trillion Gorrps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,856 Gorrps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, and Gregory Gorrpinomipliopalolopma has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorrp's national animal is the Great Gorrpian Bloop, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gorrp is ranked 279,335^th in the world and 1^st in Gorrpia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,868.32 Standard Monetary Units.
