The Incorporated States of Gatchingerrak Union is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 6.173 billion Gatchingerrak Unionians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Gatchingerrak Unionian economy, worth 57.3 trillion Golds 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 9,280 Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gatchingerrak Union's national animal is the Five-headed Eagle.
Gatchingerrak Union is ranked 272,225th in the world and 77th in Rushmore for Most Stationary, with 10.1240560206 days.
