The Democratic Republic of Geatlandia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Comrade Hakon Sverdlov with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate population of 10.493 billion Geats 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frunzestadt. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Geatish economy, worth a remarkable 1,953 trillion Krubles 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 186,198 Krubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, every workday begins with group therapy, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Geatlandia's national animal is the Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Geatlandia is ranked 14,795^th in the world and 230^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
