The Republic of Garchomp- is a very large, safe nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 387 million Garchomp-ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Garchomp-ian economy, worth 11.3 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,224 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Typing Leader's name into a search engine always gives zero matches, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, and patriots insist that size does matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Garchomp-'s national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Garchomp- is ranked 233,755^th in the world and 17^th in The Kingdom of Eevee for Highest Drug Use, scoring 68.62 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
