The Republic of Gingarea is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 125 million Gingareans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gingarean economy, worth 7.58 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 60,678 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gingarean police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, Leader has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables, and every citizen is allowed exactly fifteen minutes of fame. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gingarea's national animal is the Ginger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gingarea is ranked 131,244^th in the world and 12^th in Guinea Kiribati for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 801.92 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
