The Grand Gulag of Grinning Gobbler is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Magnificent Supreme Grobbler with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.928 billion Grinning Gobblerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geegee. The average income tax rate is 75.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Grinning Gobblerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,266 trillion Platinums a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,977 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, and the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grinning Gobbler's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gobbledegookism.
Grinning Gobbler is ranked 5,372nd in the world and 160th in the Rejected Realms for Most Corrupt Governments, with 216.92 kickbacks per hour.
