The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 8 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 18.659 billion Icelanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 23.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Icelandic economy, worth 760 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,779 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent. Gaeslan 8's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 8 is ranked 126,628^th in the world and 2^nd in Das Kommune for Most Primitive, scoring -39.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
