The Anarchist State of Gartohol is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Shuaib Abu-Mussabid with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, aversion to nipples, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 2.131 billion Gartishes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rekhtasat. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gartoholian economy, worth 221 trillion Dinars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,917 Dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, citizens who don't follow Islam are closely monitored for signs of self-harm, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, and the government subsidizes everything from particle physics to fabric softeners. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gartohol's national animal is the Snow white Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.
Gartohol is ranked 8,375th in the world and 187th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,027.59 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
