The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 228 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 17.759 billion Gaeslan 228ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Gaeslan 228ian economy, worth 604 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,065 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Gaeslan 228's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 228 is ranked 113,294^th in the world and 1^st in Republic of the Gambia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
