The Republic of Gor Kebab is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Paul Hurst with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.166 billion Gor Kebabians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kebab City. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gor Kebabian economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 trillion Kiscks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,774 Kiscks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

When their backs are against the walls Gor Kebabians look out for gay men, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, families burn Paul Hurst's latest official photograph to keep warm, and traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gor Kebab's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunni.

Gor Kebab is ranked 73,840^th in the world and 445^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 22.48 flags saluted per person per day.
