The Dictatorship of Geckos is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Barry the Berry lover with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.528 billion Geckosians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berry bottom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Geckosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,196 trillion gecko bucks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. 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 amazing 291,773 gecko bucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,027,351 per year while the poor average 59,999, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

The country is preparing for war, even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, a government program is underway to revitalize Geckos's beaches, and people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geckos's national animal is the gecko, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is geckoism.

Geckos is ranked 113,383^rd in the world and 19^th in Waifu for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,706.99 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
