OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 618 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 13.196 billion Gaeslan 618ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 64.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaeslan 618ian economy, worth 120 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,165 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 618's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 618 is ranked 11,032nd in the world and 1st in Red Harbor for Most Stationary, with 2,211.07284185692 days.
