The Empire of Galeans is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning lion population. The democratic population of 290 million Galeans 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Galean economy, worth 9.83 trillion reais a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,896 reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporate lawyers are joyfully combing through the new tax code for any new loopholes for their clients, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galeans's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galeans is ranked 71,436^th in the world and 1^st in Empire of Galea for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,371.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
