The Violet Violence of Garrh is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Mighty Garrh with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 18.055 billion Garrhians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parking Lot. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.

The all-consuming Garrhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,747 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 96,813 marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 517,318 per year while the poor average 9,504, a ratio of 54.4 to 1.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Garrh, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and kitchen patrol is dominated by ten-year-old runts. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Garrh's national animal is the salmon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Garrh is ranked 190,285th in the world and 8th in Key Results Union for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,101.08 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
