The Borderlands of Garch Junce is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its closed borders, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 642 million Garch Junceans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 26.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Garch Juncean economy, worth 34.2 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,318 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Horses are frequently shot for looking at people 'in a funny way', airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Garch Junce's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garch Junce's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Garch Junce is ranked 59,243^rd in the world and 1,736^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,708.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
