The Republic of Gaia Aeterna is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Coralino Cacharra with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.068 billion Gaia Aeternans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Pacholino. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The powerhouse Gaia Aeternan economy, worth 169 trillion Chorizoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 81,823 Chorizoes, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 343,348 per year while the poor average 12,677, a ratio of 27.1 to 1.

Security reviews double as corporate marketing, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, heterosexuality is considered positive proof of fitness to parent, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gaia Aeterna's national animal is the lobo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gaia Aeterna is ranked 85,353^rd in the world and 10^th in Gaia Aeterna for Highest Average Incomes, with 81,823 Standard Monetary Units.
