“Gastravonians are the people of God's victory”

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

The Hellenic Kingdom of Gastravon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.961 billion Gastravonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth 838 trillion Ilunns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,585 Ilunns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Orongkungkrae''s main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sapphire Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Gastravon is ranked 225,061^st in the world and 7,752^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,559.15 Standard Monetary Units.
