The Principality of Gallus is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 504 million Gallusards enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hope. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Gallusian economy, worth 46.7 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,706 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gallus's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gallus is ranked 73,717^th in the world and 54^th in Ridgefield for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
