The United Kingdom of Gersemiya is a large, genial nation, renowned for its daily referendums and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 138 million Gersemish have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 35.0%.

The strong Gersemish economy, worth 9.57 trillion Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,358 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens partake in escapades with creatures of the night, Gersemiya is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gersemiya's national animal is the Blue Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gersemiya is ranked 27,845^th in the world and 1^st in Verold for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 52.16 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
