The Green Otter's State of Garbelia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Lutra Otto with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, anti-smoking policies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 865 million Garbeli are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garvida. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The very strong Garbelery economy, worth 76.5 trillion CryptoGarbels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. Average income is 88,408 CryptoGarbels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, Lutra Otto is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre, and billion-CryptoGarbel sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts. Crime is totally unknown. Garbelia's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Garbelia is ranked 61,804th in the world and 165th in Forest for Highest Drug Use, scoring 86.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
