The Fair and Powerful Republic of Gremmel is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gabe Newell with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 984 million Linux Users love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Linux Foundation. The average income tax rate is 45.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Ubuntified economy, worth 35.7 trillion Linux Mints a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,264 Linux Mints, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Ubuntified weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gremmel's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gremmel is ranked 153,166^th in the world and 168^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,004.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
