The Democratic Confederation of Gurdenia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chief Minister Anders Derte with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.224 billion Gurdenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crockvan. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gurdenian economy, worth 724 trillion Republican Lervans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,593 Republican Lervans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Condemned prisoners spend hours a day sitting in lotus position looking perplexed, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius', and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gurdenia's national animal is the Gurdenian Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Gurdenia is ranked 16,381^st in the world and 1^st in Romania for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
