The Social Democracy of Gardavasque is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Pamela Paris with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 16.26 billion Gardavascans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eternity. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gardavascan economy, worth a remarkable 2,054 trillion ¥escas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,372 ¥escas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Gardavascan government is the world's largest NGO, children talking about the food chain are routinely arrested, school history books often refer to President Pamela Paris as "that imperialist pig dog", and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime is totally unknown. Gardavasque's national animal is the Banshee Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Democracy.

Gardavasque is ranked 4,565th in the world and 7th in International Democratic Union for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,629.28 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
