The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 270 is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 17.413 billion Gaeslan 270ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Gaeslan 270ian economy, worth 469 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,965 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Gaeslan 270's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 270 is ranked 159,406^th in the world and 1^st in The Republic of Iraq for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
