The Monarquia Constitucional of Reino da Galiza is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rei Gabriel I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.816 billion Galegos are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santiago de Compostela. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Galego economy, worth 203 trillion Escudoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,105 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children dream of becoming physicians and physicists, blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Reino da Galiza's national animal is the Mocho, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Reino da Galiza is ranked 122,305^th in the world and 45^th in Portugal for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,105.19 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
