The Republic of Snarky is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.121 billion Snarkyians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry and Defense are also considered important, while Law & Order and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The powerhouse Snarkyian economy, worth 723 trillion Snarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 34,258 Snarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 114,023 per year while the poor average 7,669, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Snarky's national animal is the Snarkster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snarky is ranked 173,191^st in the world and 3,129^th in the South Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -66.71 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
