The United Tribes of Gashia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by HRMC Jack with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.115 billion Gashians 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Six Stars. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The all-consuming Gashian economy, worth 526 trillion Gash Cashes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,967 Gash Cashes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 426,093 per year while the poor average 16,335, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.

Begun the Clone Wars have, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, the nation has declared war on all passing comets, and Gashia's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gashia's national animal is the Mulchy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gashism.

Gashia is ranked 287,139^th in the world and 372^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 54 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
