The Federation of Gorvania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Yuriy Yaroshenko with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.692 billion Gorvans 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 relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anzhelypol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gorvanian economy, worth an astonishing 14,944 trillion hrovodnias a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 722,216 hrovodnias, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,720,433 per year while the poor average 7,060, a ratio of 951 to 1.

Patriotism is in the nation's DNA, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorvania's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian Orthodox.

Gorvania is ranked 119^th in the world and 4^th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 35,080.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
