The Green Otters' State of Garbelia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lutra Otto with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.749 billion Garbelerii are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garvida. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Garbelery economy, worth 874 trillion Garbels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 112,903 Garbels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, Garbelery tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, and homophobia is off the menu. Crime is totally unknown. Garbelia's national animal is the Otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lutrianism.

Garbelia is ranked 285,989^th in the world and 274^th in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.52 kickbacks per hour.
