The Federal Republic of Gahais is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 535 million Gahaisians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gahais City. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gahaisian economy, worth 38.0 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,105 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Gahais, and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gahais's national animal is the Saluki, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gahais is ranked 302,133^rd in the world and 78^th in Sancturia for Largest Black Market, with 16.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
