The Republic of Guinea Pig Horde XXXVI is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.856 billion Guinea Pig Horde XXXVIians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Guinea Pig Horde XXXVIian economy, worth 372 trillion lire a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,372 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guinea Pig Horde XXXVI's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Guinea Pig Horde XXXVI is ranked 245,873^rd in the world and 9,550^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -5.72 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
