The Red Republic of Geah is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Johnny Jo Jo Shabba Do with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.974 billion Geahians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grass Shack. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Geahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,015 trillion Geckoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,254 Geckoes, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government is chasing the gold at the end of the rainbow, those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, legend has it Johnny Jo Jo Shabba Do's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geah's national animal is the Sand Flea, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the H-Bomb.

Geah is ranked 12,045th in the world and 3rd in The grimy backyard of Bigej for Most Developed, scoring 89.5 on the Human Development Index.
