The Federation of Gorvania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Yuriy Yaroshenko with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.473 billion Gorvans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anzhelypol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gorvanian economy, worth an astonishing 14,753 trillion hrovodnias a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 720,626 hrovodnias, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,705,639 per year while the poor average 7,044, a ratio of 951 to 1.

The nation excels at displacement, playing card suits are sold separately, Anzhelypol's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorvania's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Gorvania is ranked 60,375^th in the world and 1,871^st in Lazarus for Nudest, with 199.5 cheeks per square mile.
