The Nomadic People of Gaia Nation is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Smokey Cloud with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 9.616 billion Gaians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Spirituality, with Environment also on the agenda, while Education and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gaian economy, worth 84.8 trillion Naturalias a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 8,821 Naturalias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 27,111 per year while the poor average 2,218, a ratio of 12.2 to 1.

Betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, the government is giving peace a chance, the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, and appendix transplant figures have recently doubled. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Gaia Nation's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gaia Nation is ranked 215,007^th in the world and 543^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Extreme, scoring 13.86 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
