The Republic of Galbadiana is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Juan Lennon-Mercury with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.051 billion Galbadianans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Galbadianan economy, worth 267 trillion Johnsons a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,155 Johnsons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Treason is relative, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, and women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galbadiana's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galbadiana is ranked 27,962^nd in the world and 1,245^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,720.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
