The Empire of Galvin Islands is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 29 million Galvin Islanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government devotes most of its attentions to Commerce, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Uranium Mining.

The government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter. Crime is a serious problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Galvin Islands's national animal is the Mosquito, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Gold Ingot.
