The Empire of Gaulacia is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 366 million Gaulacians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Noviodunum. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gaulacian economy, worth 20.2 trillion Dinariis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,115 Dinariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gaulacia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaulacia is ranked 154,551^st in the world and 1,985^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 420.81 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
