The Free Land of GTRKTY is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 353 million little kids 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.1%.

The powerhouse unique and special economy, worth 23.0 trillion balls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 65,292 balls, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,539 per year while the poor average 14,495, a ratio of 15.1 to 1.

Politicians are often seen drinking soft drinks at the end of every public address, the government has an entire department dedicated to staring at microscopes and writing down letters, students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, and there is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GTRKTY's national animal is the plant.

GTRKTY is ranked 77,410th in the world and 1,619th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,757.12 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
