The Darn Toot'in Nation of GHAUNADAUR is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gustav the Glave with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 31.747 billion GHAUNADAURians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient GHAUNADAURian economy, worth an astonishing 17,347 trillion Dragoons a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 546,441 Dragoons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prank shows are so hot right now, wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, and loudmouthed journalists are given the chop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. GHAUNADAUR's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Voraciousism.

GHAUNADAUR is ranked 2,272^nd in the world and 148^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 177,593.52 Standard Monetary Units.
