The Absolute Monarchy of Gasakstan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Pringle with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.726 billion Gasakstanis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borsnaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gasakstani economy, worth a remarkable 1,547 trillion Memes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 230,145 Memes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,846,132 per year while the poor average 6,641, a ratio of 278 to 1.

Barges of dissidents are being "reeducated through water therapy" in the South Blobfish Sea, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, funding for education has been redirected into the military, and a cat may look at a king and a dude can look at an ass. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gasakstan's national animal is the Blobfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gasakstan is ranked 56,952^nd in the world and 2^nd in The Alterran Republic for Most Extreme, scoring 25.81 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
