The Wonderfully Perfect Paradise of Gaiaguay is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Goddess Coco with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.818 billion Gaiaguayians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaia. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gaiaguayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion Coconuts 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 impressive 186,541 Coconuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Contestants on Gaiaguay's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, policy reversals are more often graceful demi-détournés than u-turns, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gaiaguay's national animal is the Flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cocoism.

Gaiaguay is ranked 220,234th in the world and 8,646th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
