The Holy Empire of Ggot is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Surkho Korgay with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 974 million Ggotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narping-dosí-Miravill. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ggotian economy, worth 96.6 trillion karmas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,138 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, there are no more heroes any more, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, and government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ggot's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ggot is ranked 18,502^nd in the world and 14^th in Sophia for Largest Governments, scoring 31.19 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
