The Most Sovereign Republic of Garya is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marshal Gary Burns with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.358 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, 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 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Garyan economy, worth a remarkable 3,228 trillion Garyan Pounds a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is an impressive 113,848 Garyan Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, the nation has always been at war with Moltovea, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and pro-democracy regime change has been avoided. 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 17,877^th in the world and 120^th in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 54.6 flags saluted per person per day.
