The Necropolis Tyranny of Geckocidron is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HRM Lich-King Geckocidron III with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, triple-decker prams, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.239 billion Geckocidians 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Necropolis Spire. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Geckocidan economy, worth an astonishing 20,977 trillion Gecko Eyes 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 650,687 Gecko Eyes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,784,498 per year while the poor average 97,477, a ratio of 28.6 to 1.

The government snoops on private internet connections, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, and modern warfare's call of duty isn't popular with gamers these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Geckocidron's national animal is the Gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hatred.

Geckocidron is ranked 2,312^th in the world and 45^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 3,368 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
