The BIG SHOT of New Gandinia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Corral M with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.448 billion Gandinians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Landingtonshire DA. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gandinian economy, worth 388 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,674 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, students are taught to count with all 9 fingers, and all-natural foods are becoming a major fad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Gandinia's national animal is the Not Available, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Not Available.

New Gandinia is ranked 25,625^th in the world and 3^rd in Timoria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,903.55 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
