The Dictatorship of Gorow is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Viktor Smirnov with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.324 billion Gorowians 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 Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iragot. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gorowian economy, worth 240 trillion Trypyds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,295 Trypyds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,497 per year while the poor average 17,815, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.

Incompetent former soldiers have been re-employed as incompetent cleaners and kitchen staff, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, and spotted owl meat is used as bait to lure wolves into traps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gorow's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is God Viktor Smirnov.
