The Pegasus of Guard 54 is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population.

Average income is 21,160 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guard 54's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
