The United Kingdom of Gaia and Pomona is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Hans I with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.098 billion Gaians 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aeglestad. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gaia and Pomonan economy, worth 606 trillion Atlases a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 118,878 Atlases, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, one-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, Chekhov's guns are killing the entertainment budget, and a byzantine web of conspiracies and secret alliances must be navigated any time legislation is voted upon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaia and Pomona's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaia and Pomona is ranked 11,270th in the world and 640th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 113 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
