The Free Land of Gorklibunsond

“Right Makes Might”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Gorklibunsond is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Federal Council with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.244 billion Gorklibunsondians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gorklibunsondian economy, worth 854 trillion hypercoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 136,801 hypercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads the South Pacific in per capita stalking, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime is totally unknown. Gorklibunsond's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gorklibunsond is ranked 288,767^th in the world and 5,403^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -22.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
