The Madokadom of Gurkland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mitriel Direnni with a fair hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.581 billion Gurklandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cremalodia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gurklandian economy, worth an astonishing 13,473 trillion Freigelds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 506,871 Freigelds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, commercial ships often report keel and hull damage from coral reef impacts, government officials across Gurkland are being "encouraged" to adopt Pegasuses to set an example for the populace, and a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gurkland's national animal is the Pegasus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Madokaism.

Gurkland is ranked 307,532^nd in the world and 42^nd in The Embassy for Fattest Citizens, with 0.94 Obesity Rate.
