The Republic of Gifun is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 324 million Gifunians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 19.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gifunian economy, worth 18.2 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 56,077 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The environment is gorgeous so long as you're looking up, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, catcalling has been replaced by slut-shaming, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gifun's national animal is the Racoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gifun is ranked 196,838^th in the world and 8,335^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 755.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
