The Free Land of Geraluden is a large, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 158 million Geraludenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 27.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Geraludish economy, worth 13.0 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,560 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Geraludish, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Geraludenians like vultures, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and the rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities. Crime is totally unknown. Geraluden's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geraluden is ranked 120,704^th in the world and 243^rd in Horizon for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 84.26 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
