The Free Land of Geraluden is a large, genial nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 125 million Geraludites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Geraludenian economy, worth 10.3 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,138 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, and retired racing capybaras are served truffles for breakfast. Crime is totally unknown. Geraluden's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geraluden is ranked 115,488^th in the world and 307^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,644.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
