The Republic of Gurzikstan is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Commander Sana Kharim with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 14.14 billion Gurzikstanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sakhra. The average income tax rate is 30.8%.

The very strong Gurzikstanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,009 trillion Urdinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 71,385 Urdinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gurzikstan's national animal is the fennec, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is secularized.

Gurzikstan is ranked 241,282^nd in the world and 9^th in Astares Covenant for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 594.93 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
