The Jewel of Guslantis is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Leah with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 19.543 billion Guslanteans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Education, with Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigletville. The average income tax rate is 93.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Guslantean economy, worth a remarkable 2,111 trillion Guslates a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,042 Guslates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, disadvantaged youths often commit felonies to enhance their educational prospects, and news headlines usually include p-values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guslantis's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guslantis is ranked 290,689th in the world and 11,357th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -19.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
