Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Ancient Order of Time-Lords of Gallafrey is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Protector Anthony with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, cynical population of 17.534 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gallafrey City. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, cheating spouses are required to undergo job training, and children spout "The Doctor is In!" involuntarily throughout the day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gallafrey's national animal is the Tardis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Jedi, and its currency is the Gallafrey Gold Mark.

Gallafrey is ranked 91st in Equilism and 99,895th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
