The Republic of GWGS is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.475 billion GWGSians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.2%.
The frighteningly efficient GWGSian economy, worth 618 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 112,958 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers', military officials are questioning the policy of ceding the nation's territory in exchange for promises not to invade it, the only science is political science, and a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GWGS's national animal is the elk, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
GWGS is ranked 106,094th in the world and 1st in Oposites for Most Stationary, with 398.14378685448 days.
