The Protectorate of Galloping Gorge is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by That Rock on the Right with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.446 billion Galloping Gorgeans 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of That Rock on the Left. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Galloping Gorgean economy, worth 881 trillion Horseshoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,312 Horseshoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Hawkball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galloping Gorge's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the Open Door.
Galloping Gorge is ranked 6,045th in the world and 2nd in Sunset Shimmer for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 11,017.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
