The United Socialist States of Gervelia is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 20.073 billion Gervelians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Gervelian economy, worth 693 trillion bit coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 34,559 bit coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Gervelia's radio stations, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and Gervelia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime is totally unknown. Gervelia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Gervelia is ranked 6,239th in the world and 34th in Union of Free Nations for Most Stationary, with 2,926.5400714576 days.
