The Republic of Giganda is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.394 billion Gigandans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.2%.

The very strong Gigandan economy, worth 797 trillion Kwanzas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,309 Kwanzas, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military struggles with recruitment, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Giganda's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Giganda is ranked 25,082^nd in the world and 6^th in The Doldrums for Safest, scoring 111.35 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
