The Ever-Present Demon Child of Geminga is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.25 billion Gemingans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Gemingan economy, worth a remarkable 3,304 trillion Object Permanences 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 249,389 Object Permanences, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 752,668 per year while the poor average 64,380, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, the government snoops on private internet connections, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geminga's national animal is the Question Mark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Geminga is ranked 9,071^st in the world and 80^th in the West Pacific for Nudest, with 987 cheeks per square mile.
