The Free Land of Lady Gaza is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.714 billion Lady Gazans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.7%.

The very strong Lady Gazan economy, worth 390 trillion Gagas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 68,383 Gagas, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows, and Lady Gaza recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lady Gaza's national animal is the Love Bird.

Lady Gaza is ranked 64,705^th in the world and 17^th in Hurricane 12 for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
