The State of Gatoriun is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 18.131 billion Gatoriunians 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, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Welfare, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gatoriunian economy, worth 834 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,026 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gatoriun's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gatoriun is ranked 85,948^th in the world and 52^nd in 0000 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
