The Commonwealth of Gaeslan 686 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 12.307 billion Gaeslan 686ians 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 large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Gaeslan 686ian economy, worth 380 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,914 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gaeslan 686's national animal is the gyrfalcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaeslan 686 is ranked 131,761^st in the world and 1^st in Mordkan Empire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
