The Federated States of Gallantia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Federal Council with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 829 million Gallantians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyropolis. The average income tax rate is 36.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gallantian economy, worth 104 trillion Reubens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,925 Reubens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gallantia's national animal is the Pyropterus Leo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gallantia is ranked 16,686^th in the world and 25^th in KAISERREICH for Most Patriotic, with 51.59 flags saluted per person per day.
