The Federal Republic of Gitlok is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Gitesh Bajpeyee with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, digital currency, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 3.983 billion Gitlokians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peaceity. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gitlokian economy, worth 444 trillion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 111,566 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and gossip magazines have pictures of Gitesh Bajpeyee sunbathing on the beach with political rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gitlok's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hindu.

Gitlok is ranked 34,997^th in the world and 754^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,767.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
