The Protectorate of Carl Gershman is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 11.89 billion Carl Gershmanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Carl Gershmanian economy, worth 502 trillion Monies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,265 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Judges who serve for life or good behavior can expect to stay for a week, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, farmers in arid regions are puzzled with government directions to plant rice this year, and doctors fax when they need facts fast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carl Gershman's national animal is the Rattlesnake, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Carl Gershman is ranked 91,307th in the world and 145th in The Gallery for Most Stationary, with 497.3027025594 days.
