The Nomocracy of Gueliza is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Anwes with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.25 billion Guelizans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanemat. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Guelizan economy, worth a remarkable 1,779 trillion Squishes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 173,654 Squishes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, behind every local dictator is a Guelizan advisor whispering in their ear, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and the government pours millions of Squishes into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gueliza's national animal is the Chunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gueliza is ranked 286,974th in the world and 207th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Primitive, scoring -498.56 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
