The Unitary State of Garfield Republics is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Esteemed Glorious Leader Garfield with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.948 billion totally fine and not opressed peoples are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garlord. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong very Garfield economy, worth 148 trillion Garfield Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,315 Garfield Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's usual for grandparents to stay in the family home with their descendants but younger children are often frightened of them, all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society, political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garfield Republics's national animal is the Lasagna, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Garfield says no to Religion.

Garfield Republics is ranked 28,212^th in the world and 467^th in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,233.57 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
