The Republic of Gorena is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Toller with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.193 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, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paquemest. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorenan economy, worth 729 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 228,309 gorenan marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every child sleeps with a gun to protect themselves from the monster under the bed, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", glamping Gorenans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights. Crime is totally unknown. Gorena's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gorena is ranked 5,815^th in the world and 150^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 93.95 on the Human Development Index.
