The Queendom of Gonryun is a large, efficient nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 93 million Gonryunians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.
The very strong Gonryunian economy, worth 6.59 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 70,851 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,869 per year while the poor average 14,011, a ratio of 18.3 to 1.
Newly synthesized elements' half-lives are a million times shorter than the time it takes to say their names, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, all tariffs have been abolished, and penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative'. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gonryun's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
Gonryun is ranked 215,825th in the world and 51st in Adairidae for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 543.09 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
