The Third Colonial Empire of Galster is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Napoléon VII with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 13.902 billion French are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marseille. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient French economy, worth a remarkable 3,468 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 249,484 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', Tom and Jerry cartoons have cat and mouse resolving their problems with reasoned discussion, hazmat suits are a common French garb, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galster's national animal is the Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Galster is ranked 165^th in the world and 7^th in The Communist Bloc for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 8,390.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
