The Democratic Republic of Garyiutia is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 628 million Garyiutchos are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Javoskow. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Garyiutia economy, worth 28.3 trillion kunitoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 45,090 kunitoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', Garyiutia Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock, the government-sponsored autobiography 'A Leader For All Seasons' has only been bought by the most loyal of Leader's supporters, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garyiutia's national animal is the avestruz, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Garyiutia is ranked 88,837^th in the world and 350^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Corrupt Governments, with 17.47 kickbacks per hour.
