The Holy Empire of TGU is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The democratic, devout population of 7.455 billion TGUians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Welfare and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 6.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The TGUian economy, worth 364 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,833 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of TGU has been announced as the new Head of State, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. TGU's national animal is the Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

TGU is ranked 174,245^th in the world and 872^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Average Incomes, with 48,833.22 Standard Monetary Units.
