The Federation of Gewisse is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.373 billion West Saxons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Exeter. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gewissean economy, worth 949 trillion Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 113,440 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gewisse's national animal is the Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gewisse is ranked 206,960^th in the world and 2,080^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -13.11 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
