The Kingdom of Gerskidus is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ridaro Balazar with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 19.261 billion Gerskidians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caiginia. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gerskidian economy, worth a remarkable 4,705 trillion aurics a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 244,301 aurics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, and the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gerskidus's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gerskidus is ranked 16,221^st in the world and 4^th in Albion for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,860.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
