The Republic of Gettysburg Refounder is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Rogue with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The cynical, devout population of 3.93 billion Gettysburg Refounderians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appalachia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.5%.

The thriving Gettysburg Refounderian economy, worth 316 trillion Silver Penningars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,625 Silver Penningars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 271,957 per year while the poor average 17,693, a ratio of 15.4 to 1.

Glamping Gettysburg Refounderians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, governments opposing Gettysburg Refounder are beset by rebels, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, and endangered species are effective hostages against the Gettysburg Refounderian military. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gettysburg Refounder's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Heathen.

Gettysburg Refounder is ranked 44,582^nd in the world and 1^st in Gettysburg for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 56,034.58 Standard Monetary Units.
