The Republic of Giant Geurrrrrrrillaz is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 8.009 billion Giant Geurrrrrrrillazians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Giant Geurrrrrrrillazian economy, worth 83.7 trillion organs 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. 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 10,445 organs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giant Geurrrrrrrillaz's national animal is the Japanese Spider Crab.

Giant Geurrrrrrrillaz is ranked 268,864th in the world and 1st in Empire of the ancients for Highest Poor Incomes, with 10,133.79 Standard Monetary Units.
