The City of Gaeta is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.406 billion Gaetani are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The thriving Gaetano economy, worth a remarkable 1,126 trillion lires a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 64,723 lires, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 206,929 per year while the poor average 15,375, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

Jennifer Government is banned, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', Leader has just been declared ruler of Gaeta in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Gaeta's national religion. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gaeta's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Gaeta is ranked 84,980^th in the world and 5^th in Comuni for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.63 percentage of bribes refused.
