The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.914 billion Gastravonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,898 trillion Ilunns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 357,233 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, rumor has it that Tyrone Slyferius has won three lotteries in a row, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.

Gastravon is ranked 2,920^th in the world and 65^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 18,502.66 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
