The Queen's State of Gae is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working, democratic population of 38.17 billion Gaeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 13.8%.

The strong Gaean economy, worth a remarkable 1,409 trillion betales a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 36,915 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

A major religion has been named as Gae's national religion, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps, and snap elections are called over every minor impasse. Crime is moderate. Gae's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Gae is ranked 293,578^th in the world and 1^st in Pacific Island Nations for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 147.21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
