The United Socialist States of East Pal Giulia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Telophorus Videntii with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.472 billion East Pal Giulianites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dzaigur. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Pal Giuliani economy, worth 552 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 123,537 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, and traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Pal Giulia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tigrine Scientific Atheism.

East Pal Giulia is ranked 287,768^th in the world and 3,674^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -18.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
