The Queendom of Gernone is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 187 million Gernoneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gernonean economy, worth 1.18 trillion Euras 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 6,316 Euras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and politicians literally speak literally. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gernone's national animal is the Seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gernone is ranked 315,103^rd in the world and 110^th in Aeternas for Highest Average Incomes, with 6,316.72 Standard Monetary Units.
