The Grand Dominion of Gardessen is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Magnate Tomric with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 2.651 billion Gardessers 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Losans. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Gardessenian economy, worth 431 trillion Dabloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,935 Dabloons, with the richest citizens earning 8.7 times as much as the poorest.
Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', public ferries only carry enough lifeboats for the first-class passengers, and bris parties are all the rage.

Gardessen is ranked 14,487th in the world and 14th in Right to Life for Smartest Citizens, with 75.26 quips per hour.
