The Incorporated States of Galandal is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.647 billion Galandalians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Galandalian economy, worth 82.8 trillion bitcoins 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Cheese Exports, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 50,272 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, Leader has just been declared ruler of Galandal in an international press conference, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galandal's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Galandal is ranked 185,390th in the world and 4,320th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.92 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
