The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 11.004 billion Gastravonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,931 trillion Ilunns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 357,317 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
International collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Gastravon, anti-government web sites are springing up, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and kindergartners love the free balloons that their schools give them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.
Gastravon is ranked 1,530th in the world and 42nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 882.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
