The Sacred Domain of Galwananti is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kastir Vertar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.001 billion Galwans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iveron Primus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The very strong Galwanantian economy, worth 748 trillion Smithas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,852 Smithas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,611 per year while the poor average 20,771, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, real estate agencies are being replaced by naval recruitment offices, and the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Galwananti's national animal is the Glascowit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Alsimun.

Galwananti is ranked 159,422^nd in the world and 154^th in Sparkalia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
