The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.986 billion Gastravonians 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,924 trillion Ilunns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 357,211 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, and end-of-year production reports state that the revolution is really going with a bang. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.

Gastravon is ranked 817^th in the world and 17^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 83.85 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
