The Anarchist State of Gartohol is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Shuaib Abu-Mussabid with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 2.087 billion Gartishes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rekhtasat. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gartoholian economy, worth 214 trillion Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,744 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, angry men scowl at each other across chess boards, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gartohol's national animal is the Snow white Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.
Gartohol is ranked 267,383rd in the world and 6,455th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
