The Republic of Gallicelestia is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 550 million Gallicelestians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nuovo Faro. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gallicelestian economy, worth 67.8 trillion Gallicelestian Transaction Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 123,209 Gallicelestian Transaction Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, an endless multinational bureaucracy connects the Red Bloc, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and military barracks resemble five-star hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gallicelestia's national animal is the Giganotosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gallicelestia is ranked 176,040^th in the world and 3,868^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 77.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
