The Republic of Gaq is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 283 million Gaqians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The strong Gaqian economy, worth 17.6 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 62,147 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gaq's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Gaq is ranked 270,536^th in the world and 11^th in Mix for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 10.34 Effective Tax Rate.
