The Protectorate of Galicia Ostland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Lucas Gayle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.848 billion Galicians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronstrom. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The all-consuming Galician economy, worth 844 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 107,635 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, and hunters often become the hunted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galicia Ostland's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Galicia Ostland is ranked 241,390^th in the world and 7^th in Galicia and Blackrow for Nudest, with 77.5 cheeks per square mile.
