The Republic of Empire of Gora is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Great Garzo with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 5.379 billion Gorans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goventry. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Goran economy, worth 613 trillion Golaps a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,118 Golaps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", sly spies try to rely on national allies so that they don't die, international negotiations always lead to a lot of missile-laneous expenses, and the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire of Gora's national animal is the Great Goran Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Empire of Gora is ranked 239,372^nd in the world and 162^nd in The Hole To Hide In for Most Armed, with 0.14 Weapons Per Person.
