The Geāned Cynerīce of Galoresa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Cyng Cyneweard with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 18.758 billion Galoresans 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lundenburh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Galoresan economy, worth a remarkable 2,113 trillion Þerungs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 112,672 Þerungs, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, becoming a missionary is a sure-fire route to martyrdom, the impoverished sick hang around outside golf clubs to beg for funding for healthcare, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galoresa's national animal is the Scīrhengest, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Angelīriscscipe.

Galoresa is ranked 241,760th in the world and 7,257th in Lazarus for Fattest Citizens, with 8.08 Obesity Rate.
