The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 721 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12.334 billion Gaeslan 721ians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaeslan 721ian economy, worth 135 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 10,952 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 721's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 721 is ranked 254,225th in the world and 1st in Wolf Clans for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 464.89 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
