The Federal Republic of Gitlok is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gitesh Bajpeyee with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 3.994 billion Gitlokians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peaceity. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gitlokian economy, worth 454 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,782 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, and the army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gitlok's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindu.

Gitlok is ranked 25,487^th in the world and 661^st in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 901.55 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
