The Polis of Galaad is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Basileus Belisarius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.656 billion Galaadians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acropolis. The average income tax rate is 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Galaadian economy, worth 685 trillion iron coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,297 iron coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Prison officers are bribed not to take bribes, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galaad's national animal is the helot and its national religion is Peak Male Physique.

Galaad is ranked 39,541^st in the world and 1^st in Volkisch Sparta for Highest Poor Incomes, with 62,615.8 Standard Monetary Units.
