The Free Land of Gaparin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.526 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 Healthcare, Education, 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 68.9 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 45,148 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 109,657^th in the world and 107^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,984.49 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
