The Democratie reelle of Gaiah is a behemoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Krishnamurti with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 51.115 billion Gaiahians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Industry receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paris. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Gaiahian economy, worth 621 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 12,152 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, and street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gaiah's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gaiah is ranked 314,187^th in the world and 17^th in France for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -67.65 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
