The Unfinished Tales of Govornia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nebulaia Govornia with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.114 billion Govornians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Govopolis. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Govornian economy, worth 395 trillion Govocreds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,182 Govocreds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the Govornian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers. Crime is totally unknown. Govornia's national animal is the Stripe-Beaked Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Logicalism.

Govornia is ranked 100,062^nd in the world and 2,547^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 125 billion Standard Monetary Units.
