The United Socialist States of New Garlicia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Cinnamoroll with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.197 billion New Garlicians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyrlineskia. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The New Garlician economy, worth 53.1 trillion Garlician Lyrikis 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 Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,337 Garlician Lyrikis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Garlicia's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Garlicia is ranked 227,800^th in the world and 4,260^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,006.54 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
