The Necropolis Tyranny of Geckocidron is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by HRM Lich-King Geckocidron III with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 30.643 billion Geckocidians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Necropolis Spire. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Geckocidan economy, worth an astonishing 19,747 trillion Gecko Eyes 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 644,425 Gecko Eyes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,946,156 per year while the poor average 85,852, a ratio of 34.3 to 1.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Geckocidron's national animal is the Gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Hatred.

Geckocidron is ranked 1,745th in the world and 60th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 150.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
