The United Socialist States of Gals is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 246 million Galsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Galsian economy, worth 7.35 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,872 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and former gun owners are finding that brandishing paintball guns isn't as satisfying as the real thing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gals's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gals is ranked 69,756^th in the world and 129^th in Horizon for Nudest, with 185.25 cheeks per square mile.
