The Queendom of GarisOA is a small, socially progressive nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23 million GarisOAians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The powerhouse GarisOAian economy, worth 1.77 trillion Zenies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 77,129 Zenies, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, under doctor's orders Leader is going on a diet and abolishing capital punishment, and little girls are in tears as Leader confiscates their pink princess ballgowns. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. GarisOA's national animal is the Cat.

GarisOA is ranked 83,605^th in the world and 1,001^st in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 66.02 on the Human Development Index.
