The Federation of Gewisse is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, compulsory vegetarianism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.75 billion West Saxons are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Exeter. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gewissean economy, worth a remarkable 2,149 trillion Pounds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,323 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize Gewisse's beaches, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Gewissean Navy, bike rage is all the rage, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 283,483^rd in the world and 811^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -12.84 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
