The Theocracy of Gingrihk is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 69 million Gingrihkians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Gingrihkian economy, worth 1.65 trillion Chipmunk scalps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 23,960 Chipmunk scalps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, organ donation is compulsory, and all recreational drugs are legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gingrihk's national animal is the Cocaine Crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gingrihk is ranked 169,729^th in the world and 51^st in Der Leibwache for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 531.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
