The Holy Empire of Ggot is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Surkho Korgay with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.629 billion Ggotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narping-dosí-Miravill. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ggotian economy, worth 712 trillion karmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,993 karmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, people are left scratching their heads at the government's decisions, government policy is dictated by Archaiososliontariiothias, and compliance officers smash the kneecaps of unethical bureaucrats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ggot's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Archaiososliontariiothias.

Ggot is ranked 2,759^th in the world and 4^th in Aeternum for Nicest Citizens, with 61.69 average smiles per day.
