The Republic of Gorena is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Toller with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.103 billion Gorenans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paquemest. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorenan economy, worth 698 trillion gorenan marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 225,131 gorenan marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The most recent election was a close race between President Toller and President Toller, gossip magazines have pictures of President Toller sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, President Toller's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime is totally unknown. Gorena's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gorena is ranked 16,511^th in the world and 410^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,759.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
