The Noted Absence of Gonador is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Aragorn Son of Anduril with a fair hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning emu population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.301 billion Gonadorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minus Three-Fifths. The average income tax rate is 21.5%.

The Gonadorian economy, worth 277 trillion florins a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 44,028 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gonador's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Catholicism.

Gonador is ranked 125,687^th in the world and 4^th in The Archipelago States for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 589.57 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
