The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 414 is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 15.468 billion Gaeslan 414ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gaeslan 414ian economy, worth 93.1 trillion kronor 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 Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 6,019 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 414's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 414 is ranked 81,436^th in the world and 1^st in The Ninth Reich for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
