The Ancient and Eternal Kingdom of Gangleonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hiroyoshi Cutler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 32.112 billion Gangleonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dornnbruckstett. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gangleonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,044 trillion Altairian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 250,510 Altairian Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 756,051 per year while the poor average 64,670, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

A state-funded project is investigating whether the moon is made of cheese, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and it's hunting season on loan sharks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gangleonia's national animal is the fat chocobo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lunacy.

Gangleonia is ranked 5,647^th in the world and 326^th in Balder for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
