The Armed Technocracy of The Gelseen Hegemony is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Speers with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 15.404 billion Gelseens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovenoir. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gelseen Hegemonyian economy, worth an astonishing 10,983 trillion Gold Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 713,024 Gold Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International trade can be a pain to deal with, the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Gelseen Hegemony's national animal is the Red Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Worship through Creation.

The Gelseen Hegemony is ranked 1,639^th in the world and 58^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 300.84 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
