The Holy Republic of Gandhiana is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gandhi with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.286 billion Gandhiani are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Environment also on the agenda. The income tax rate is 100%.
The all-consuming Gandhianan economy, worth an astonishing 13,517 trillion Justices 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 580,519 Justices, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gandhiana's national animal is the Free Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Social Gandhism.
Gandhiana is ranked 12,183rd in the world and 208th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 2,054.03773402612 days.
