The Socialist Democracy of Gyvinian Republic is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Gyvinian National Order Foundation with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.234 billion Gyvinians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyvinia City. The average income tax rate is 87.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gyvinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Gyvinian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 109,280 Gyvinian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitration is mightier than the sword, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts. Crime is totally unknown. Gyvinian Republic's national animal is the Flying dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is nothing because God is dead.

Gyvinian Republic is ranked 45,379^th in the world and 8^th in The Embassy for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,707.61 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
