The Confederacy of Gordeland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 489 million Gordelandianos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Law & Order is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dequerram. The average income tax rate is 24.6%.

The strong Gordelandiano economy, worth 36.1 trillion Gordenencis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,919 Gordenencis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, students abandon classrooms for online education, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, and supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gordeland's national animal is the Macaco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gordeland is ranked 147,484^th in the world and 2,861^st in Lazarus for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 66.06 on the Hayek Index.
