“WHEN WORDS FAIL USE GUNS.”

The Armed Republic of GAT POPPERS is a massive, devout nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.236 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 53%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Soda Sales.

A crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, and refugees from other nations are flocking to GAT POPPERS's border. Crime is relatively low. GAT POPPERS's national animal is the kobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.

GAT POPPERS is ranked 31st in the region and 38,679th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
