The Community of Gunsdile is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Gunsdilean Council with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, digital currency, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.338 billion Gunsdileans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghreapo. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gunsdilean economy, worth a remarkable 3,389 trillion Malairths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 362,947 Malairths, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, 'I'm Coming Out' has shot to the top of the nation's music charts, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gunsdile's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Gunsdile is ranked 270,796th in the world and 82nd in Flanelistan for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
