The Chronically Online of Goraria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Loren Ramball with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 7.681 billion Gorariaballs have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forentriaball. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gorarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion Garian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,017 Garian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Television characters who ask how someone's doing are charged with harassment, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, government officials stay up all night in flame wars with their constituents, and the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Goraria's national animal is the Damar Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Goraria is ranked 28,833^rd in the world and 18^th in Callista for Most Beautiful Environments, with 850.5 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
