The Federation of Gerrin is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 758 million Gerrinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merle. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Gerrinian economy, worth 25.7 trillion Lumis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,965 Lumis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and calling dibs is an unalienable right. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gerrin's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gerrin is ranked 38,051^st in the world and 91^st in Horizon for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
