The Most Sovereign Republic of Garya is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marshal Gary Burns with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.118 billion Garyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Josephsburg. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Garyan economy, worth a remarkable 2,990 trillion Garyan Pounds a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 110,262 Garyan Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garya's national animal is the Golden Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Garya Reformed Church.
Garya is ranked 16,525th in the world and 103rd in Europe for Most Corrupt Governments, with 114.61 kickbacks per hour.
