The Spankocracy of Gachimania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Spank-King Van Darkholme with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.742 billion Gachis are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shinnippori. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The all-consuming Gachimuchi economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion Hot Loads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 147,675 Hot Loads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', getting an autograph has become harder than ever, newspapers may not print any negative stories about the government, and the government is pouring billions into replacement brains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gachimania's national animal is the Shinnippori Crab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fairy Philosophy.

Gachimania is ranked 38,264^th in the world and 1^st in Poenas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,849.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
