The Les Miserables of The Gamin Gavroche is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Victor Hugo with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 26.042 billion Gamin Gavrocheans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gamin Gavrochean economy, worth a remarkable 7,514 trillion Blood Stained Francs a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 288,551 Blood Stained Francs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,203,996 per year while the poor average 45,140, a ratio of 26.7 to 1.

Mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, the word "robot" is considered to be etymologically offensive, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Gamin Gavroche's national animal is the Le Gran Coq, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Gamin Gavroche is ranked 6,766th in the world and 203rd in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 100,415.8 Standard Monetary Units.
