The Commonwealth of Galar is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.84 billion Galarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.1%.

The strong Galarian economy, worth 233 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 60,720 francs, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a major religion has been named as Galar's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Galar in an international press conference, and Galar has designated Galar City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Galar's national animal is the tiger.

Galar is ranked 224,830^th in the world and 4^th in Galar for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.86 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
