The Holy Nation of The Ginger Lands is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ethel Kilikina Levi Kosar with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.797 billion Gingers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hrgota. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ginger Landsian economy, worth 924 trillion Gembers 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. 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 159,397 Gembers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ginger Lands's national animal is the Urangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ruivo.

The Ginger Lands is ranked 12,919^th in the world and 305^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 357.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
