The Green Faction of Gaian Stepdaughters is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lady Deirdre Skye with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 27.69 billion Gaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaia's High Garden. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The enormous but underdeveloped Gaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,503 trillion energy credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 54,283 energy credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, Gaian Stepdaughters's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and prudishness is on the way out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaian Stepdaughters's national animal is the mind worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gaian Stepdaughters is ranked 19,149^th in the world and 4^th in Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri for Lowest Crime Rates, with 90.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
