The Republic of Gorena is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Toller with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.031 billion Gorenans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paquemest. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorenan economy, worth 669 trillion gorenan marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 220,924 gorenan marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, and barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor. Crime is totally unknown. Gorena's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gorena is ranked 175,288^th in the world and 912^th in the South Pacific for Largest Populations, with 3.03 billion capita.
