The Principality of Gallus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by First Prince with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.103 billion Gallusards 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 large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Hope. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gallusian economy, worth 868 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 211,682 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime is totally unknown. Gallus's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Unfinished Book.

Gallus is ranked 280,708^th in the world and 30^th in Ridgefield for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.98 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
