The People's Republic of Gavierland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Konstantine Luai Sarpong with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.178 billion Gavierians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridia. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gavierlandian economy, worth 652 trillion Florans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 156,246 Florans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mathematicians are gathering an infinite number of Falcons and typewriters to see if they can recreate the works of Max Barry, t-shirts displaying a photo of President Konstantine Luai Sarpong performing the Full-Monty are selling out, government projects are full of waste, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Gavierland Blood Tithe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gavierland's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.
Gavierland is ranked 43,758th in the world and 35th in Africa for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,806.37 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
