The Republic of Gatchatopia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 5.637 billion Gatchatopians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Education and Law & Order are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Gatchatopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,257 trillion currencies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 223,122 currencies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,062,478 per year while the poor average 2,358, a ratio of 874 to 1.
Scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, it is said that a Gatchatopian woman's work is never done, cheese has been labelled a dangerous weapon and banned, and the national government has been dissolved by revolutionary insurgents. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gatchatopia's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Gatchatopia is ranked 249,931st in the world and 6,269th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -6.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
