The Clan of Gunhild is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.229 billion Gunhildians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skølårr. The average income tax rate is 46.8%.

The thriving Gunhildian economy, worth 728 trillion Loks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,555 Loks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Finders keepers is the law of the land, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, and the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gunhild's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gunhild is ranked 311,713^th in the world and 14^th in The Realm of Varangia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.64 average smiles per day.
