The Tower of Gaan-telet is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.933 billion Gaan-teletians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Gaan-teletian economy, worth 588 trillion Golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 99,183 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 449,094 per year while the poor average 13,446, a ratio of 33.4 to 1.

Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Gaan-telet's many privately-owned prisons, Gaan-teletians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, CSI Forest is this year's hit new crime show, and orange is the new black for judicial robes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaan-telet's national animal is the Boss, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gaan-telet is ranked 165,100th in the world and 57th in Eientei Gensokyo for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 31.67 Effective Tax Rate.
