The Pegasus of Guard 75 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Guard with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.943 billion Guardians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guardia. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Guardian economy, worth a remarkable 2,483 trillion Dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 108,227 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned eagleball fields, schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children, and sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guard 75's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Guardianism.

Guard 75 is ranked 51,086th in the world and 1st in Planet Zi for Highest Average Incomes, with 108,227.31 Standard Monetary Units.
