The Socialist Republic of Girmandy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Wilhelm Peterson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cynical population of 17.329 billion Girmandians 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Driftopia. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Girmandyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,735 trillion leroes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 100,160 leroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, hospitals in Girmandy are too busy serving the needs of Lazarus to see Girmandians, and NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Girmandy's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Girmandy is ranked 12,394^th in the world and 860^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
