The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 490 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.869 billion Gaeslan 490ians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Welfare, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gaeslan 490ian economy, worth 95.5 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 6,420 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 490's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 490 is ranked 42,093rd in the world and 593rd in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,048.26562772068 days.
