The Allied States of The Gashouk Peninsula is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 342 million Gashoukians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 36.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gashoukan economy, worth 17.8 trillion Denarii a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,098 Denarii, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, the government is plagued with uncertainty, educators and parents alike are allowing children to view the internet again after violent videos were purged, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Gashouk Peninsula's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Gashouk Peninsula is ranked 157,005^th in the world and 2,118^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 52,098.07 Standard Monetary Units.
