“Garlic Bread”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free Land of Garlic Bread is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.977 billion Garlic Breadians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 7.2%.

The Garlic Breadian economy, worth 133 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 67,282 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, chemically brainwashed citizens praise Leader's name on an hourly basis, former public radio talk pundits are being deployed to front line war zones, and the nation's youth is held blameless for all crimes. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Garlic Bread's national animal is the otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Garlic Bread is ranked 69,212^th in the world and 1^st in Garlic Bread for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,234.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
