The Annual RAIDless Backup of Gawdzendia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Christensen with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.726 billion Gawdzendians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Adonia City. The average income tax rate is 3.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gawdzendian economy, worth a remarkable 3,482 trillion GZDS 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 236,504 GZDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Gawdzendians made a dessert and called it peace, kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and no true communist is an unbeliever. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gawdzendia's national animal is the White Collar Desk Possum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Gawdzendia is ranked 36,381^st in the world and 2^nd in Loosely Antagonistic Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
