The Republic of Terre des Gaules is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 21.788 billion Gauls are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Public Transport, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paritte. The average income tax rate is 53.4%.

The Gaulic economy, worth 807 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 37,066 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Gauls incessantly needle their doctors for relief, the government is suspected of mass disappearing dissidents both at home and abroad, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and the Terre des Gaules Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Terre des Gaules's national animal is the Coq, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Terre des Gaules is ranked 196,694^th in the world and 16^th in Teremara for Smartest Citizens, with 23.06 quips per hour.
