The District of Summer Garden is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 41.571 billion Summer Gardenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Summer Gardenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,507 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,308 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 384,250 per year while the poor average 3,900, a ratio of 98.5 to 1.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, citizens are bombarded with advertising from their compulsory minature radios, Summer Garden has designated District City as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Summer Garden in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Summer Garden's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Summer Garden is ranked 275,346^th in the world and 613^th in State for Nicest Citizens, with 5.02 average smiles per day.
