The Most Sovereign Republic of Garya is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marshal Gary Burns with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, digital currency, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.026 billion Garyans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Josephsburg. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Garyan economy, worth a remarkable 3,185 trillion Garyan Pounds a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is an impressive 113,651 Garyan Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garya's national animal is the Golden Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Garya Reformed Church.

Garya is ranked 300,680^th in the world and 1,429^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
