The City of Guernica is a mammoth, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.718 billion Guernicans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and International Aid are also considered important, while Industry and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.3%.

The strong Guernican economy, worth 298 trillion pesetas a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,158 pesetas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 167,760 per year while the poor average 12,282, a ratio of 13.7 to 1.

Angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, the internal market is thriving, and online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Guernica. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guernica's national animal is the whale.

Guernica is ranked 176,926^th in the world and 2^nd in Basque Country for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.98 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
