The Lake Guards of Gathalay is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by 100th Savior Perus VII Vyzinten with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.386 billion Gathalayans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moonlit Palace. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.
The strong Gathalayan economy, worth 260 trillion artas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,322 artas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,678 per year while the poor average 15,236, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.
Political satirists and late night comedians weep as the government begins cleaning up its act, diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and unused plastic recycling bins are being dumped into landfills by the tonne. Crime is a serious problem. Gathalay's national animal is the golden lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Monastic Order of Hexate.
Gathalay is ranked 94,321st in the world and 2nd in Sklerdras Project for Most Stationary, with 482.32276075768 days.
