The Armed Technocracy of The Gelseen Hegemony is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Speers with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.671 billion Gelseens have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rovenoir. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gelseen Hegemonyian economy, worth an astonishing 11,781 trillion Gold Dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 706,679 Gold Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

90% of active duty TGHAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, the national security service are a bunch of crooks, and anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Gelseen Hegemony's national animal is the Red Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Worship through Creation.

The Gelseen Hegemony is ranked 623^rd in the world and 35^th in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 99.19 Atheism Rate.
