The Democratic Republic of Gnobo is a tiny, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning elephant population. The democratic, devout population of 9 million Gnoboans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 31.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gnoboan economy, worth 334 billion francs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,149 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gnobo's national animal is the elephant.

Gnobo is ranked 51,825^th in the world and 208^th in the Plains of Perdition for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.8 percentage of bribes refused.
