The Republic of Gherweb1 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 396 million Gherwebis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Gherweb1ian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Zends a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 40,239 Zends, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, they say that Gherwebis made a dessert and called it peace, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', and doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gherweb1's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gherweb1 is ranked 55,686^th in the world and 1,214^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
