The Queen's State of Gorffwysfa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 39.723 billion Gorffwysfans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The powerhouse Gorffwysfan economy, worth a remarkable 2,423 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,006 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 335,083 per year while the poor average 5,645, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV program in Gorffwysfa, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, and voting is voluntary. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gorffwysfa's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gorffwysfa is ranked 40,657th in the world and 1st in Kingdom Of England And Wales for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
