21. National Interest To the advantage of one’s country. Gary looked at every event to see if it had weight in his nation-state’s national interest.
22. Foreign policy The policy of a nation when dealing with other nations. Gary wrote his nation-state’s foreign policy because they didn’t have one and he thought it would be important.
23. Quebecois The term for someone who is part of in Quebec. Gary did not like the Quebecois, they spoke French and French confused him.

35. Peacekeeping The job of steadying and holding peace after bringing it. Gary went into the business of peacekeeping after he had brought peace to his old nation.
36. Gary ended up: becoming head peacemaker/keeper on behalf of his nation-state Goborinthia, created a charter of equality for all, converted everyone in his previously cannibalistic nation to become vegetarian, tamed all the wild beasts with his amazing animal speaking powers and saving the world by inventing world peace. … and that concludes the story of Gary.
