The Protectorate of Voidcrash Garrison is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 1.206 billion Voidcrash Garrisonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 23.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Voidcrash Garrisonian economy, worth 41.0 trillion shiny green things a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,000 shiny green things, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and billions of shiny green things are being poured into a space program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Voidcrash Garrison's national animal is the bribe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Voidcrash Garrison is ranked 255,075^th in the world and 2^nd in Voidcrash for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 64.66 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
