The Precious Gemnation of Cunzshilhe is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Laura Darklight with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.308 billion Cunzshilheans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kunzitia. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cunzshilhean economy, worth a remarkable 1,359 trillion Kunzites a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 256,199 Kunzites, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, refugees from other nations are flocking to Cunzshilhe's border, remote-control hang-gliding scarecrows patrol the skies to keep songbirds from leaving the nation's borders, and animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs. Crime is totally unknown. Cunzshilhe's national animal is the Echidna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of Books.

Cunzshilhe is ranked 260,990^th in the world and 12^th in Jeinnhezslhaunia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -25.85 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
