The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.981 billion Gastravonians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,922 trillion Ilunns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 357,211 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.

Gastravon is ranked 3,238^th in the world and 62^nd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 86.27 flags saluted per person per day.
