The Unpleasant Drainpipe of Gurou is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bronzefishy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.68 billion Gurouans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WiyNei. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gurouan economy, worth a remarkable 3,037 trillion Iousies 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 239,520 Iousies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are refusing to stock A Midsummer Night's Dream because it has an ass in it, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', and doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gurou's national animal is the Deadly Garden Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Worship of Omnipotent Danger Noodle.

Gurou is ranked 11,562nd in the world and 236th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,127.27595104252 days.
