The Suspension Bridge of Golden Gate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gaspar de Portolà with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.469 billion San Franciscans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Francisco. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient San Franciscan economy, worth a remarkable 3,231 trillion Marins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,892 Marins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, Brown Sugar 101 is a popular course at community colleges, extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, and the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy. Crime is totally unknown. Golden Gate's national animal is the golden trout, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Golden Gate is ranked 279,080th in the world and 33rd in Seinfeld for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.82 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
