The Principality of Gerona is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.9 billion Gerundenses 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gerona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.1%.

The Gerundense economy, worth 885 trillion pessets a year, is highly specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 32,907 pessets, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Gerona in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Gerona's national religion, glamping Gerundenses won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime is moderate. Gerona's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gerona is ranked 59,559^th in the world and 1^st in Cities for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,699.43 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
