The Pegasus of Guard 77 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 28.527 billion Guard 77ians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of International Aid, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 53.9%.

The Guard 77ian economy, worth 780 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 27,346 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is moderate. Guard 77's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guard 77 is ranked 76,594^th in the world and 1^st in Anything goes for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,333.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
