The Holy Gold Avocado of Gorundu is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by A V O Cado with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.076 billion Gorundans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorundan economy, worth a remarkable 1,569 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 and Tourism. Average income is 97,602 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 13,613^th in the world and 487^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 89.02 on the Human Development Index.
