The Dominion of Gatwelve is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.603 billion Gatwelveans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Englechan. The average income tax rate is 17.9%.
The powerhouse Gatwelvean economy, worth 704 trillion currents a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,336 currents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend, Gatwelveans are unrivalled in obstacle courses, cremation is compulsory for the deceased, and citizens re-mortgage their homes to buy lottery tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gatwelve's national animal is the animo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Gatwelve is ranked 291,027th in the world and 10,222nd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 2.77564405692 days.
