The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 648 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12.165 billion Gaeslan 648ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaeslan 648ian economy, worth 106 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,746 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 648's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 648 is ranked 71,106th in the world and 1,627th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
