The Empire of Gaulacia is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 339 million Gaulacians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Noviodunum. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gaulacian economy, worth 19.6 trillion Dinariis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,768 Dinariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters are one of the nation's top imports, life is short but human kindness is endless, babies are a small but significant export, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gaulacia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaulacia is ranked 197,084^th in the world and 2,732^nd in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.39 Obesity Rate.
