The Socialist Realm of Gastravon is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tyrone Slyferius with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 10.938 billion Gastravonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orongkungkrae'. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gastravonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,918 trillion Ilunns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 358,209 Ilunns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gastravon's national animal is the Gastravonian Sunbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Makunsten.

Gastravon is ranked 260,548^th in the world and 5,006^th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 16.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
