The State of Girone is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.282 billion Gironeans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gironean economy, worth 128 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 11,398 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, gambling is outlawed, and Girone has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Girone's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Girone is ranked 49,750th in the world and 7th in Heavenly Palace for Most Stationary, with 911.03811832412 days.
