The Commonwealth of Gisserag is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Central Administrator Geche Beneshoha with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.131 billion Gisseragians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Citadel. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gisseragian economy, worth 145 trillion Fitzes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,545 Fitzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Time flies when you're not having fun, practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gisserag's national animal is the Bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Gisserag is ranked 37,811^th in the world and 35^th in Eladria for Highest Average Incomes, with 128,545.01 Standard Monetary Units.
