The Republic of Geriland is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 968 million Gerilandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Gerilandian economy, worth 110 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,657 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Birdsong in the mountains has to be loud enough to drown out nearby jackhammers, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, only adults may purchase violent video games, and Leader's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geriland's national animal is the German Shepard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Geriland is ranked 22,831^st in the world and 631^st in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 66,157.58 Standard Monetary Units.
