The Sublime Empire of Gasakstan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Pringle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.287 billion Gasakstanis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borsnaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gasakstani economy, worth a remarkable 3,672 trillion Memes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 276,410 Memes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,414,077 per year while the poor average 4,858, a ratio of 496 to 1.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the poor are quarantined in the inner cities to prevent criminals from entering the suburbs, and a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went. Crime is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Gasakstan's national animal is the Blobfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gasakstan is ranked 293,319th in the world and 14th in The Alterran Republic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
