“A puppet of Diljan Rikardsson”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 676 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 12.279 billion Gaeslan 676ians 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 59.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaeslan 676ian 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 Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 9,781 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 676's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 676 is ranked 102,334^th in the world and 2,582^nd in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
