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

The Kingdom of New Garokirk is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 4.481 billion New Garokirkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koitown. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Garokirkian economy, worth 441 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,578 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, rare steaks seem even bluer now, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Garokirk's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Garokirk is ranked 232,161^st in the world and 3,641^st in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 26,714.66 Standard Monetary Units.
