The Six Unions of Gadalland and Aspern is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Customary Logistics Council with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.294 billion Sertians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hemberdale. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sertian economy, worth 141 trillion Bœrnes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,913 Bœrnes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, and short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gadalland and Aspern's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Bothorism - Sertian Sect of Christianity.

Gadalland and Aspern is ranked 228,887^th in the world and 73^rd in European Union for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 779.16 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
