The Queen's State of GM is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.566 billion GMians 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 minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong GMian economy, worth 667 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 38,005 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 258,394 per year while the poor average 2,042, a ratio of 126 to 1.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, GM has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of GM in an international press conference, and none has been named as GM's national religion. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. GM's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is none.

GM is ranked 171,553^rd in the world and 145^th in Omega Prime for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 56.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
