The Dictatorship of Geckos is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Barry the Berry lover with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, deadly medical pandemics, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.576 billion Geckosians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berry bottom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Geckosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,213 trillion gecko bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 292,154 gecko bucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,035,961 per year while the poor average 59,432, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, modern Geckosian art is so hot right now, and government officials are phoning up good-looking celebrities to say they want to breed with them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geckos's national animal is the gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is geckoism.

Geckos is ranked 2,265^th in the world and 1^st in Waifu for Most Corrupt Governments, with 329.19 kickbacks per hour.
