The Democratic Republic of Galatium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aiden Clarke with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.087 billion Galatiumians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galatia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The strong Galatiumian economy, worth 48.5 trillion Galatiumin Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,572 Galatiumin Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fruit pickers with degrees in Turtle psychology are a common sight, anti-government web sites are springing up, young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts, and schoolchildren learn basic numeracy by counting off their push-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Galatium's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheist.

Galatium is ranked 132,333^rd in the world and 48^th in The Kingdom of Great Britain for Most Primitive, scoring -43.25 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
