The United States of Gart is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its enforced nudity and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 20.289 billion Gartians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Gartian economy, worth 608 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,998 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, public nudity is compulsory, snakes are considered a delicacy, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gart's national animal is the snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Gart is ranked 76,483rd in the world and 43rd in Middle Earth for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,514.87 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
