The Federation of Gonadez is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Seaburt Mahlan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.779 billion Gonadezians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zodegane. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gonadezian economy, worth a remarkable 3,724 trillion Dizons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 270,289 Dizons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and the Gonadezian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gonadez's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gonadez is ranked 9,995^th in the world and 199^th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,588.21 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
