The Republic of Garchomp- is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 272 million Garchomp-ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Garchomp-ian economy, worth 8.20 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,140 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

You're only as old as you feel, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and more and more students are taking up a career in medicine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garchomp-'s national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Garchomp- is ranked 288,944^th in the world and 15^th in The Kingdom of Eevee for Largest Populations, with 272 million capita.
