The Final Bastion of Gendirt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ŧ͓͡ค̱̎เ̤̈́г̬̒ץ̐ͅ ๏̢̀Ŧ̻͘ ̱͊Ŧคเ͙̓гเ͙͐є͙̈ร̺̚ with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 24.835 billion Gendirtors are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Hell. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gendirtian economy, worth a remarkable 8,776 trillion fossilized bee heads 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 353,396 fossilized bee heads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', and international tensions are high as Gendirt threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gendirt's national animal is the flesh bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Beekeeper Association.

Gendirt is ranked 167,061^st in the world and 3,952^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 73.41 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
