The Free Land of Gaparin is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.556 billion Gaparis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gapagrapa. The average income tax rate is 17.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gaparinian economy, worth 70.3 trillion Gapas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,150 Gapas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and Gaparin has designated Gapagrapa as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gaparin's national animal is the Gapar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gaparin is ranked 278,388^th in the world and 160^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.68 kickbacks per hour.
