The United Kingdom of Galathynius is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.934 billion Galathyniusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Defense, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Galathyniusian economy, worth 233 trillion Spheres a year, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,332 Spheres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and the tightness of border controls in Galathynius leave a little to be desired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galathynius's national animal is the Axehound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Galathynius is ranked 22,732^nd in the world and 533^rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,143.09 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
