The Thalassocratic Empire of New Galatony is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Antoniotto II with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 2.02 billion Galatonyans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genova. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Galatonyan economy, worth 407 trillion Galatonyan Lires 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 an amazing 201,903 Galatonyan Lires, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Galatony's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

New Galatony is ranked 337,386^th in the world and 45^th in Republic of Nova Tero for Lowest Crime Rates, with 30.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
