The Allied States of The Gaylands is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 23.517 billion Gaylandsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare and Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order is ignored. The average income tax rate is 44.3%.

The Gaylandsian economy, worth 749 trillion shows of support a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,864 shows of support, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. The Gaylands's national animal is the flamingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Gaylands is ranked 177,183^rd in the world and 110^th in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.68 law-abiding acts per hour.
