The Democratie reelle of Gaiah is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Krishnamurti with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.605 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals is mainly concerned with the Environment, although Education and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling. Gaiah's national animal is the Phoenix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

Gaiah is ranked 26th in France and 103,468th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.037 Stalins.
