The Free Land of Geraluden is a large, safe nation, renowned for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 151 million Geraludenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Geraludish economy, worth 12.1 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,396 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, and twice-daily toilet inspection rotas for government buildings are archived for public appraisal. Crime is totally unknown. Geraluden's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geraluden is ranked 77,248^th in the world and 106^th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,303.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
