The Pristine Dominion of Gebidia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Marcus Oritas with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.578 billion Gebidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Law & Order and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arvoria. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gebidian economy, worth a remarkable 3,553 trillion Denalms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,682 Denalms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime is totally unknown. Gebidia's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Gebidia is ranked 947^th in the world and 3^rd in Right to Life for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 81.61 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
