The Matriarchy of Galactic Empire of Gaia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.996 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galactic Empire of Gaia City. The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, Galactic Empire of Gaia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galactic Empire of Gaia's national animal is the Wombat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dogma.

Galactic Empire of Gaia is ranked 23rd in Democratium and 5,924th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 25 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
