The Holy Empire of Gonk Droids is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Gonk Droid with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and pith helmet sales. The hard-working, cynical population of 14.588 billion Gonk Droidsians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gonk City. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gonk Droidsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,821 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 124,856 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gonk Droids's national animal is the Gonk Droid, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gonkism.

Gonk Droids is ranked 259,153rd in the world and 5th in Old Zealand for Safest, scoring 25.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
