The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.96 billion Gastravonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,926 trillion Ilunns 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 358,260 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, new vat-grown soldiers are as replaceable as bullets, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.

Gastravon is ranked 170,715^th in the world and 3,371^st in the South Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 21.89 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
