The Republic of Gumyyn is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Captain D-aquavis Bonn QuiQua the XXI with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.229 billion Gumyynianes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kilong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The very strong Gumyyniee economy, worth 83.6 trillion Gumyyn Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,038 Gumyyn Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 299,703 per year while the poor average 9,689, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Takeaway food bought on the weekend now comes with fifty percent more sweat and tears, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, five year olds are carried away after losing Lionball games, and slavers are real nutters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gumyyn's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Gumyyn is ranked 75,836^th in the world and 334^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 126.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
