The Paradise of Gelben is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Keller with a fair hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 19.395 billion Gelbenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodastor. The average income tax rate is 29.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gelbenian economy, worth a remarkable 6,786 trillion Gelbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 349,903 Gelbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, commuters and their desktops both bemoan their hard drives, and giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gelben's national animal is the Yellow Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.
Gelben is ranked 122,640th in the world and 2,585th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 285.27135909288 days.
