The Confederacy of Garp is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 20.488 billion Garpians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Garpian economy, worth 431 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,059 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, extreme political groups are outlawed, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is totally unknown. Garp's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Garp is ranked 115,195th in the world and 14th in The Genesis Corporation for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,396.58 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
