The United Socialist Republics of Gernaet is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Premier Andrei Kowenski with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.7 billion Gernaetese hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, 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 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Gernaetish economy, worth 963 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 110,762 Silvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Auditors are gutting every governmental department, the government's economic policy is "sort it yourself", interest in globalism never flags, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Hearthtown Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. 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 5,194th in the world and 2nd in Enadia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 204.43 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
