The Dictatorship of Gemma aeterna is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Prince of Shadows with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 875 million Crystals are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Tower of mirrors. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Gemma aeternan economy, worth 23.0 trillion better horses 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 26,274 better horses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children are raised bilingual from an early age, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gemma aeterna's national animal is the dictatorial pound, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gemma aeterna is ranked 157,745th in the world and 2,007th in The East Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,645.46 Standard Monetary Units.
