The Borderlands of Gran Turismo is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Nao Yokoyama with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.706 billion Gran Turismovians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suzuka Circuit. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gran Turismovian economy, worth a remarkable 5,580 trillion Yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,487 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Gran Turismovian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gran Turismo's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shinto.

Gran Turismo is ranked 13,694th in the world and 5th in Gensokyo for Most Stationary, with 1,882.08026769008 days.
