The People's Republic of Gemert is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President WH with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 963 million Gemertians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gemert. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.1%.

The thriving Gemertian economy, worth 70.6 trillion Gemertse Guldens a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 73,306 Gemertse Guldens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 208,099 per year while the poor average 20,626, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, the "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, and when their backs are against the walls Gemertians look out for gay men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gemert's national animal is the Gemertse Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gemert is ranked 208,179^th in the world and 8,995^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 963 million capita.
