The Sublime Porte of Gates of Horn and Ivory is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dual Monarchy of Morpheus with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 11.109 billion Shades are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dreamed City. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dreaming economy, worth a remarkable 2,215 trillion sands a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,470 sands, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, sharing vacation pictures requires written consent from the entire beach resort, and people who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gates of Horn and Ivory's national animal is the Mare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dreaming.

Gates of Horn and Ivory is ranked 5,023rd in the world and 1st in Agora for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
