The Kingdom of Gelijkheid is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Louis III with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.724 billion Gelijkheidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rijnhal. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Gelijkheidian economy, worth 133 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,127 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Gelijkheid, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gelijkheid's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gelijkheid is ranked 12,019th in the world and 269th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.76 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
