The Grandes' Duchy of Giscuambourg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by HRH the Grande Duke Seymour XII with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 30.536 billion Giscuams are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giscuambourg. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient giscuam economy, worth a remarkable 4,269 trillion Giscuam Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,813 Giscuam Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giscuambourg's national animal is the Giscuam Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Giscuambourg is ranked 8,451st in the world and 16th in Gay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
