The Republic of Gemarimia is a large, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Gemarimians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Public Transport. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.0%.

The very strong Gemarimian economy, worth 3.71 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 74,135 lire, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, there are no minimum wage laws, and government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Gemarimia's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gemarimia is ranked 66,779^th in the world and 1,378^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 113.8 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
