“Alis volat propriis”

The Dracontine Republic of Galneri is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.892 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galneryus. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, and the Federal Council of Galneri has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime is totally unknown. Galneri's national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the galnerian dollar.

Galneri is ranked 1267th in the region and 55,038th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
