The Dictatorship of Gelezia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.215 billion Gelezians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gelezian economy, worth a remarkable 1,456 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 158,014 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, soiled underwear is being repurposed as (off-)white flags, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gelezia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gelezia is ranked 152,799th in the world and 46th in Alcris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,110.74 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
