The Federal Republic of Gitlok is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Gitesh Bajpeyee with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, vat-grown people, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 4.007 billion Gitlokians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peaceity. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gitlokian economy, worth 455 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 113,782 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, real chickens replace rooster weather vanes on inner-city rooftop gardens, and the army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gitlok's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindu.

Gitlok is ranked 17,015^th in the world and 483^rd in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 115.5 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
