The Vamachara Gaṇarajya of Ganapatyadesh is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Subramaṇya Chandrashekar with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.112 billion Gaṇapatyadeshis are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahishapura. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gaṇapatyadeshi economy, worth a remarkable 1,951 trillion pagodas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,208 pagodas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, a video of Subramaṇya Chandrashekar wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and citizens have never heard foreign radio. Crime is totally unknown. Ganapatyadesh's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Uchchhishta Gaṇapatya.

Ganapatyadesh is ranked 8,894th in the world and 5th in Pecan Sandies for Highest Average Incomes, with 214,208.22 Standard Monetary Units.
