The Democratic Republic of Gathadia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gerther with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 964 million Gathadians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gatharia. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gathadian economy, worth 68.1 trillion Gothens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,623 Gothens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gathadia's national animal is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gathadia is ranked 276,970th in the world and 224th in Greater Hanguardian Islands for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 1.42 missed references per hour.
