The Holy Empire of Ggot is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 693 million Ggotians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narping-dosí-Miravill. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ggotian economy, worth 63.9 trillion karmas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,186 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science labs across the country languish in cobwebs as the government turns its attentions to spiritual matters, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and the seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ggot's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ggot is ranked 66,377th in the world and 53rd in Sophia for Highest Average Incomes, with 92,186.51 Standard Monetary Units.
