It borders the Republika ng Agila, Kyaing Dong and Raynsland, and shares maritime borders with Gensokyo, Westclavia, Tuberosum, Slovokyo, the Terran Federation, Ambrosia, Neverlands, and Sagittarius. The GTU was formed in 1851 after a devastating invasion from a coalition of nations. Although resentment towards those nations has passed, the GTU is a highly militarized nation. The GTU is nonetheless a democracy. The National Council is the head of state. Every year 1 High Marshalls is selected to head the National Council. The High Marshall was created because it was found that the Council is ineffective during times of Crisis.

Local infrastructure is under the jurisdiction of GTU local governments. The Armed Forces often dictate routes for highways and railways in order to connect their bases and or facilitate easy transport of assets.
