The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 169 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 17.911 billion Gaeslan 169ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Gaeslan 169ian economy, worth 612 trillion kronor 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. 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 34,188 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Gaeslan 169's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 169 is ranked 113,242^nd in the world and 1^st in Medinat Israel for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
