The People's Republic of Garvija is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jaroslau Tartu with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.7 billion Garvijans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sad. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Garvijan economy, worth 107 trillion Priwijs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 63,288 Priwijs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, the military struggles with recruitment, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garvija's national animal is the Two Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Garvija is ranked 9,236^th in the world and 12^th in Astoria for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,908.51 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
