The Federation of Gorvania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yuriy Yaroshenko with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 12.227 billion Gorvans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

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 73.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gorvanian economy, worth a remarkable 8,358 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 683,618 hrovodnias, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,355,932 per year while the poor average 6,751, a ratio of 941 to 1.

Love means always having to say you're sorry, some magnifier-wielding Gorvans say Yuriy Yaroshenko seems a little lacking in something, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Gorvanian Navy. 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 270^th in the world and 1^st in Nazi Europa for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 13,980.86 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
