The UNRESTRAINED AWESOME FORCE of GIMMICK NATION is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Professor Sum Gud Gai with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 13.953 billion GIMMICK NATIONITES are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Panini. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.6%.
The frighteningly efficient GIMMICK NATIONIAN economy, worth a remarkable 2,357 trillion gongs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 168,989 gongs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 877,921 per year while the poor average 17,592, a ratio of 49.9 to 1.
The new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. GIMMICK NATION's national animal is the ULTRA SQUID, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
GIMMICK NATION is ranked 77,557th in the world and 5th in Dymaxion for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 69.78 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
