The Bosphorus Spanning City of Gawddamntinople is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Hawt Damn with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, feral children, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.484 billion Gawddamntinopleans 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of GawdDamn. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gawddamntinoplean economy, worth a remarkable 3,756 trillion Knuts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,871 Knuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, sniffer dogs check train passengers for body odour, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, and a PhD just ain't what it used to be. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gawddamntinople's national animal is the Basilisk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gawddamntinople is ranked 248,146^th in the world and 9^th in The Cuckoos Egg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 52.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
