The Anarchist Community of The Tops is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, soft-spoken computers, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.794 billion Gomorrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gomorran economy, worth 532 trillion caps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 140,231 caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Gomorran satellites can detect it, The Tops is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, a good Gomorran is hard to find, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime is relatively low. The Tops's national animal is the skeleton, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is mutual aid and self determination.

The Tops is ranked 79,113th in the world and 1st in The Mojave Wasteland for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,998.31 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
