The Queendom of GertrudeEE is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.952 billion GertrudeEEians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.1%.

The very strong GertrudeEEian economy, worth 457 trillion water balloons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 57,566 water balloons, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases, hunters often become the hunted, insomnia is slowly turning everyone insane, and retail stores offer sales every hour on the hour. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. GertrudeEE's national animal is the raccoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

GertrudeEE is ranked 97,442^nd in the world and 3,799^th in Balder for Largest Populations, with 7.95 billion capita.
