The Wild Gay Island of Gay Aspirationes is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.298 billion Aspirings love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gay Aspirationesian economy, worth 166 trillion Loves 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 17,877 Loves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, abattoirs are running at full capacity in response to skyrocketing demand, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and billions of Loves are being poured into a space program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gay Aspirationes's national animal is the Vanessa Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gay Aspirationes is ranked 58,615^th in the world and 63^rd in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.08 law-abiding acts per hour.
