The Rock That Was of Gnejs is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Tangeus Oxwald with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.17 billion Gnejsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Kejm. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gnejsian economy, worth a remarkable 5,859 trillion Leaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 194,206 Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, the new Mallard Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, the mallards of Gnejs are surprisingly well-adjusted, and muggers are complimented on their revolutionary spirit. Crime is totally unknown. Gnejs's national animal is the mallard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amor Fati.

Gnejs is ranked 12,021^st in the world and 8^th in Rushmore for Highest Average Incomes, with 194,206.06 Standard Monetary Units.
