The Republic of Gay- is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Paul Canon with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, avowedly heterosexual populace, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 5.099 billion Gay-ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of West Hollywood. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gay-ian economy, worth 269 trillion francs a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,868 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's poor can be seen scavenging trash bins for used coffee grounds, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Paul Canon wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gay-'s national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Hedonism.

Gay- is ranked 155,524^th in the world and 1^st in S e x for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,868.76 Standard Monetary Units.
