The Green Otters' State of Garbelia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lutra Otto with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, lack of airports, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.802 billion Garbeli are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garvida. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.
The all-consuming Garbelery economy, worth 393 trillion CryptoGarbels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. Average income is an impressive 103,441 CryptoGarbels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is totally unknown. Garbelia's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lutrianism.
Garbelia is ranked 174,874th in the world and 271st in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 98.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
