The Estado of Galisteo is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor Pablo Collazo with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.939 billion Galisteans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Fe. The average income tax rate is 30.8%.

The strong Galisteoan economy, worth 221 trillion sols a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 56,213 sols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Governor Pablo Collazo has just been declared ruler of Galisteo in an international press conference, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Governor Pablo Collazo is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galisteo's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Galisteo is ranked 130,998^th in the world and 1^st in Buenos Aires for Most Developed, scoring 57.37 on the Human Development Index.
