The Republic of Galdona is a huge, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 438 million Galdonans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Echelon. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Galdonan economy, worth 27.4 trillion gilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 62,653 gilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, the government funds large training centres to turn falcons into functioning members of society, and the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Galdona's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Galdona is ranked 31,853rd in the world and 742nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
