The Incorporated States of Gtenleghetn is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The democratic, devout population of 6.59 billion Gtenleghetnians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gtenleghetnian economy, worth 226 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 34,307 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gtenleghetn's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gtenleghetn is ranked 216,394^th in the world and 3,872^nd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
