The Holy Gold Avocado of Gorundu is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by A V O Cado with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.625 billion Gorundans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittopia. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorundan economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion avocados a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 96,084 avocados, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, the government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Pittopia for fear of causing a fuss, and tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorundu's national animal is the bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Avocadism.

Gorundu is ranked 91,765^th in the world and 1,721^st in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 319.97 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
