The Free Territory of Gargareum is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Socialist Council of Gargareum with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.487 billion Gargareumians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ionia. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gargareumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,886 trillion Groats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 198,901 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime is totally unknown. Gargareum's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Gargareum is ranked 48,110th in the world and 33rd in Libertarian Socialist Confederation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
