The Unpleasant Drainpipe of Gurou is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Bronzefishy with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.193 billion Gurouans 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WiyNei. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Gurouan economy, worth 723 trillion Iousies 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 an impressive 116,760 Iousies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Fat-shaming is now public policy, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, and the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gurou's national animal is the Deadly Garden Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Worship of Omnipotent Danger Noodle.
Gurou is ranked 18,028th in the world and 1,015th in The North Pacific for Best Weather, with 162 Meters Of Sunlight.
