OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Republic of Gardiner is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 339 million Gardinerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nocturne. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gardinerian economy, worth 19.5 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,509 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homophobia is off the menu, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gardiner's national animal is the opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gardiner is ranked 64,819th in the world and 1,241st in the West Pacific for Most Secular, with 19.26 Atheism Rate.
