The Republic of Gart Priess is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Winston Smith with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.773 billion Priesses are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dartoka. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Priessian economy, worth a remarkable 2,448 trillion Tankas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 279,043 Tankas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,035,193 per year while the poor average 52,908, a ratio of 19.6 to 1.
Every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gart Priess's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hoodoism.
Gart Priess is ranked 22,099th in the world and 1,408th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
