The Democratic States of Geort Dolbor is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its lack of airports, compulsory military service, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.709 billion Geort Dolborians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Geort Dolborian economy, worth 176 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,215 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Smog in Geort Dolbor City is so bad that fresh air bottles are sold by street vendors, the barter economy has taken over as the guilder has become worthless, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Geort Dolborian Embarrassments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geort Dolbor's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geort Dolbor is ranked 135,778th in the world and 16th in Nevadia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,141.41 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
