The Jewel of Guslantis is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Leah with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 19.403 billion Guslanteans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigletville. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Guslantean economy, worth a remarkable 2,065 trillion Guslates a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 106,430 Guslates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", sausages are seldom seen in the supermarket, for just a few extra Guslates Guslanteans can get new driving records with their new cars, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guslantis's national animal is the Guinea Pig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Guslantis is ranked 755^th in the world and 204^th in The North Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 121,237 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
