The Wandering Defender of Gecko Kriopia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.321 billion Geckos 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 20.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a Gecko economy, worth 430 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,697 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gecko Kriopia's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gecko Kriopia is ranked 165,408^th in the world and 2^nd in Belisa for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,089.11 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
