The Social Republic of Garsenda is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Realm-Chancellor Karlo Werner with an iron fist, and notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 11.659 billion Garsendans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morganham. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Garsendan economy, worth 426 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,572 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, the atmosphere in Garsendan boardrooms is turning more gay, books are often used as kindling, and the police are destroying all photographic evidence of their own existence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garsenda's national animal is the kangaroo.

Garsenda is ranked 166,249^th in the world and 22^nd in United Alliances for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 615.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
