The Pegasus of Guard 156 is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-working population of 21.138 billion Guard 156ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.9%.

The very strong Guard 156ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 54,083 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 165,212 per year while the poor average 13,722, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Guard 156's national animal is the eagle.

Guard 156 is ranked 258,119^th in the world and 1^st in Bordeaux for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 13.94 Effective Tax Rate.
