The State of Ghedeland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Taeko Van Pels with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 11.106 billion Ghedelandais are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kantora. The average income tax rate is 88.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Ghedelandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,987 trillion Samedi Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 359,004 Samedi Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ghedeland's national animal is the Black Faced Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Voodoo.
Ghedeland is ranked 29,860th in the world and 18th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Stationary, with 1,357.46511733288 days.
