The Republic of Gonjatopia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 588 million Gonjatopians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gonjaopolis. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gonjatopian economy, worth 33.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,465 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, 13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, and powerful x-ray machines used by the Customs Department can see into the homes of nearby residents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gonjatopia's national animal is the ffsdfs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gonjatopia is ranked 268,735^th in the world and 7^th in Chicagoland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -50 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
