The Feathered Clawed Republic of GawHool is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme ChancellOwl with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.464 billion GawHoolies hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CapitOwl City. The average income tax rate is 1.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient GawHoolian economy, worth a remarkable 4,759 trillion Hoolies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 307,763 Hoolies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Supreme ChancellOwl is emphatic that GawHool's HDI is much higher than it seems (GawHool has found 3 easter eggs), snitches get riches, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBG Governor goes house hunting, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. GawHool's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
GawHool is ranked 4,917th in the world and 18th in Yggdrasil for Highest Food Quality, scoring 208.29 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
