Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Democratic Republic of The GA Fanatic is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.085 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.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Healthcare and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 20%. A large private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Tourism and Gambling.

The GA Fanatic's newly-famous raindances to summon storms instead attract tourists from all over Springfield, trespassers often find themselves impaled by crossbow bolts, smoking is banned in public areas, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The GA Fanatic's national animal is the mythical ga creature, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the tala.

The GA Fanatic is ranked 2nd in Springfield and 49,162nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
