The Decaying Shell of Gendirt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ŧ͓͡ค̱̎เ̤̈́г̬̒ץ̐ͅ ๏̢̀Ŧ̻͘ ̱͊Ŧคเ͙̓гเ͙͐є͙̈ร̺̚ with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 29.89 billion Gendirtors 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Hell. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gendirtian economy, worth an astonishing 13,593 trillion fossilized bee heads a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 454,774 fossilized bee heads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Ŧ͓͡ค̱̎เ̤̈́г̬̒ץ̐ͅ ๏̢̀Ŧ̻͘ ̱͊Ŧคเ͙̓гเ͙͐є͙̈ร̺̚'s luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, it's never "just a game" with Gendirtian sports fans, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, and old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gendirt's national animal is the flesh bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Beekeeper Association.

Gendirt is ranked 307,096^th in the world and 4,530^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -24.71 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
