The Kingdom of Garnbyen is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Undertaker with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.606 billion Garnbyenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cemetery. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Garnbyenian economy, worth 909 trillion Snacks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 197,377 Snacks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,191,745 per year while the poor average 14,664, a ratio of 81.3 to 1.
The legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system, the constantly ringing phones in The Undertaker's office have driven a few interns mad, nihilistic thrill-seekers claim that suicide by roller coaster is the ultimate life experience, and emergency services don't respond to trailer park fires. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Garnbyen's national animal is the Sexy Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Garnbyen is ranked 3,212th in the world and 62nd in 10000 Islands for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 33 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
