The United Socialist Republics of Gernaet is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Mikala Kapena with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.487 billion Gernaetese are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hearthtown. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gernaetish economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion Silvers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,082 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and prank shows are so hot right now. Crime is totally unknown. Gernaet's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Gernaet is ranked 27,410th in the world and 6th in Enadia for Most Stationary, with 1,423.00334622172 days.
