The Pegasus of Guard 98 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning eagle population.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 32.2%.

The Guard 98ian economy, worth 967 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture.

Crime is moderate. Guard 98's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
