The Kingdom of Garnbyen

“You only live once”

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

The Kingdom of Garnbyen is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Undertaker with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.608 billion Garnbyenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cemetery. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Garnbyenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,757 trillion Snacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 204,174 Snacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,159,530 per year while the poor average 17,539, a ratio of 66.1 to 1.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, witches' brews set off Geiger counters, adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Garnbyen's national animal is the Sexy Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Garnbyen is ranked 290,195^th in the world and 859^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.81 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
