The Federal Republic of Guialia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 568 million Guialians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of haliati. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Guialian economy, worth 42.6 trillion guilis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,951 guilis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guialia's national animal is the Brazilian Tracker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guialia is ranked 85,625^th in the world and 44^th in Edoca for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 111.8 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
