The Democratie reelle of Gaiah is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Krishnamurti with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 46.165 billion Gaiahians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Environment, although Education and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense and Industry are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaiahian economy, worth 577 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 12,507 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, alcoholics are lauded as national benefactors within the halls of the Ministry of Finance, panicking criminals no longer flush contraband down the toilet, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gaiah's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaiah is ranked 261,033^rd in the world and 23^rd in France for Most Primitive, scoring -193.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
