The Grand Gulag of Grinning Gobbler is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Magnificent Supreme Grobbler with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.829 billion Grinning Gobblerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geegee. The average income tax rate is 75.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Grinning Gobblerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,251 trillion Platinums a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,191 Platinums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, and the fattest folk in Grinning Gobbler look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grinning Gobbler's national animal is the Black Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Gobbledegookism.

Grinning Gobbler is ranked 22,130^th in the world and 551^st in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
