The Pizza and Video Games of Gaz Membrane is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.348 billion pigs are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong spooky economy, worth 295 trillion pizza slices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,013 pizza slices, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,764 per year while the poor average 11,166, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Gaz Membrane's national animal is the piggy, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gaz Membrane is ranked 167,078^th in the world and 2,991^st in Ambition for Most Pacifist, with 61.32 cheeks turned per day.
