The Empire of Gustavovich is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Great Leader Emperor Gustav Gustavovich with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.695 billion Gustavovich Peoples are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gustavopol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gustavovichian economy, worth 668 trillion præpols a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,821 præpols, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Untold millions of præpols are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, Great Leader Emperor Gustav Gustavovich's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will, and visitors to Gustavovich are microchipped and must be escorted by a Gustavovichian soldier - even to the bathroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gustavovich's national animal is the Chollima, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gustavovichian Orthodox Church.

Gustavovich is ranked 286,601^st in the world and 110^th in Audinesca for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.39 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
