The Republic of Gallonia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Trout Farming.
Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Gallonia's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the guell.
