The Republic of Ghaelara is a large, genial nation, notable for its burgeoning Red deer population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 103 million Ghaelarans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The strong Ghaelaran economy, worth 6.31 trillion Gaelic Punts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,291 Gaelic Punts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Ghaelarans won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, euthanasia is legal, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is almost non-existent. Ghaelara's national animal is the Red deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghaelara is ranked 24,382^nd in the world and 116^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,828.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
