The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 185 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 17.897 billion Gaeslan 185ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 45.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Gaeslan 185ian economy, worth 614 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 Tourism, Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 34,310 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Gaeslan 185's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 185 is ranked 180,048^th in the world and 1^st in The North Korean Politburo for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 694.04 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
