The Sultanate of Gallopavia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by His Royal Highness Emir Tayyip bin Kurwa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, avant-garde cinema, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.629 billion Gallopavians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ancyra. The average income tax rate is 34.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gallopavian economy, worth 740 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,584 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gallopavia's national animal is the turkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gallopavia is ranked 281,713^th in the world and 10,635^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 6.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
