The Republic of Gemarimia is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 45 million Gemarimians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gemarimian economy, worth 3.17 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 70,443 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody likes bad boys any more, picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, citizens have never heard foreign radio, and a third of Gemarimians are e-certified CEOs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gemarimia's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gemarimia is ranked 229,925^th in the world and 4,181^st in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.9 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
