“Inevitable shan't be stopped”

The Armed Republic of Garmi is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Fegelien with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.182 billion Garmians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reichstag. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Garmian economy, worth a remarkable 2,519 trillion Euros 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an amazing 407,578 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', the government defends a woman's right to choose, and requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Garmi's national animal is the Hummingbird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Garmi is ranked 3,938^th in the world and 4^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 21,530.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
