Gjorka, officially the Federation of Gjorka, is a country located in southern Ostlandet. Gjorka borders the Almanople Sea to the East, Ajakanistan to the west, Zloveshchiy to the North, and New Gandor to the south. Gjorka is home to 70 million people as of 2020, making it the 11th most populated in the world and fifth most populated in Ostlandet. Gjorka's capital is located in Gjorka City while it's largest city is Nomakoa. Gjorka spans 910,789 square miles and consists of 11 districts.

Gjorka's gdp of ₵1.1 trillion credits makes it the 11th largest economy in the world, and it's GDP per capita of ₵53,016 credits make Gjorkans the 3rd wealthiest citizens by average. The currency of Gjorka is the pón. This economic growth was experienced following the fifty years of peace experienced following the fall of the military government and the end of the Gjorkan Resistance. Gjorka is a presidential republic headed by the President of Gjorka, Carter Morris, and balanced by a unicameral legislative branch, the National Assembly.

The First Kingdom of Gjorka was founded in 640 A.D following the union of the Kingdom of Jor and Kingdom of Gior. The First Kingdom was the first government to unify the whole of Gjorka and lasted until 725 A.D. The First Kingdom was succeeded by a Second and Third Kingdom. However, by the Third Kingdom the Monarchy had grown significantly corrupt and greedy. The ruiling monarch, Quintin III, tried to challenge the powerful Merchant class of Gjorka resulting in the First Gjorkan Civil War. Following the Merchant victory in the civil war, the First Gjorkan Republic was established and monarchism left Gjorka. The First Republic faced many challenges including the feuding between the ruling Merchant class and working Commoner class. Following the victory of a Pro-Commoner party in the 1850 election, the High Court of Gjorka banned the Commoners and dissolved the legislature. Eventually after 70 years of judicial tyranny and economic collapse resulted in the Second Gjorkan Civil War where Revolutionaries tried to overthrow the government. They succeeded resulting in the Second Gjorkan Republic, however the Revolutionary military had taken over the government resulting in a military dictatorship. Following a long resistance, the military dictatorship was dissolved in the Second Blue Revolution and democracy restored to Gjorka with the Third Gjorkan Republic. However, this new republic was unstable and collapsed following the corrupt presidency of Rick Milhous. Thus leading to the founding of the current Federation of Gjorka.
