The Federal Monarchy of Geilinor is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chancellor Mainzer and Queen Alexandra with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.224 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiefwasser. The average income tax rate is 35%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports industries.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, Geilinor's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, and the government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geilinor's national animal is the Geilinorite Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Geilinorite Mark.

Geilinor is ranked 2,037th in 10000 Islands and 111,335th in the world for Most Pacifist, scoring -276 on the Lennon-Springsteen Scale.
