The Myriad Shining World Systems of Kasterborous Gallifrey is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord High President Charles Crappington with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.088 billion Greatest Grand Dukes of All Time enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krivyzentayle. The average income tax rate is 1.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Full Gallifreyan economy, worth a remarkable 5,357 trillion Dactylian Quanta-Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 333,012 Dactylian Quanta-Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, heart attack victims are thrown onto the rails, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime is totally unknown. Kasterborous Gallifrey's national animal is the Burgundy Zombie Fairy-Screamer, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Orthodox Church of Bovine Inception.

Kasterborous Gallifrey is ranked 49,660th in the world and 1st in Cyberius Confederation for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,938.1 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
