The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 379 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12.218 billion Gaeslan 379ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gaeslan 379ian economy, worth 72.0 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 5,894 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 379's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 379 is ranked 200,908^th in the world and 2^nd in Wintercrest Revolutionary Army for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 228.24 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
