The Commonwealth of Gaihia is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Neko Vermillion with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.882 billion Gaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaethia. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gaihian economy, worth a remarkable 2,900 trillion credits a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,930 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, crops are flattened as farmers bludgeon insects to death, and Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaihia's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gaihia is ranked 13,432^nd in the world and 253^rd in the Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
