The Fiefdom of Gaffer is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cricket population. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.515 billion Gafferians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.0%.

The Gafferian economy, worth 137 trillion taters a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 54,514 taters, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gaffer's national animal is the cricket.

Gaffer is ranked 162,442^nd in the world and 91^st in Middle Earth for Most Corrupt Governments, with 1.06 Kickbacks Per Hour.
