Gorsko (IPA: /gɒrˈskoʊ/), natively known as Gorsko (Ipa: /ˈgorsko/), is an Organized territory of Morrawia located on the Motach Island in the Alabaster Gulf, lying about /TBA/ kilometres away from the Morrawian mainland. The total land area is 1,176km2, occupying an oceanic climate zone strongly influenced by the Sunadic Ocean with warm summers and mild and humid winters. In the centre of the island the geography is hilly to mountainous, whilst on the coast it is largely flat.
The city and the capital is Žimorj, whilst Glosnjik with about 35 thousand residents, which is roughly 29% of the whole population of 124,064 inhabitants, leading to a population density of 105.43/km2. It is one of the most religious parts of Morrawia, with 95.6% of the population aligning with Christianity, with 89.4% being Protestant and 6.2% Catholic. About 93.8% is ethnically Gorskan, with the vast majority of the remaining population, circa 5% of the total population, being ethnically Morrawian. Gorsko has a unicameral legislature which assists the territorial governor of Gorsko. It is represented in the House of Representatives of Morrawia by a non-voting member, currently a representative of the Gorskan branch of the Republican party.
Gorsko is a developed high-income economy, which is in large part due to its status as a tax haven and offshore banking destination. The largest sector are services, mainly insurance, banking, information and communication technology and online gambling. Whilst this status has greatly boosted the Gorskan economy, it has lead to money laundering, financial crime, and terrorism financing issues. The country follows the Morrawian welfare system, with free healthcare and education for all.

Building roads has always been difficult in Gorsko due to its mountainous terrain, although after decades of effort, a system of highways has been constructed, starting with the G-1 interstate, the only interstate located on the island. First proposed in 1972 by Jan Vrbi, a Gorskan civil engineer, although his proposal was at first denied. In 1984 the proposal was picked up again and tweaked by federal engineers to follow Gorsko's challenging terrain more faithfully. In 1988 the first visualisation was released to the public, sparking outrage in Gorsko due to cutting through protected terrain. After 2 years the final agreement on the interstate's route was reached, with construction starting in 1991, expected to be finished in 1998, however complications associated with the two tunnels' construction delayed the opening to 2004. The highway starts in the Port of Glosnjik, wrapping around the city of Glosnjik itself, after which it passes through a tunnel through the Janjicke Alpi and heads south following the coast through another tunnel until eventually reaching the capital city of Žimorj.
