The Anti-Mondayan Republic of Garfield is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.885 billion Garfieldians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The strong Garfieldian economy, worth 262 trillion Arbucks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 53,824 Arbucks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 346,904 per year while the poor average 3,374, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Garfield's national animal is the Tabby Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Garfield is ranked 263,093^rd in the world and 132^nd in Barbaria for Safest, scoring 14.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
