The Federation of Gerrin is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Aerianna Xelha with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.296 billion Gerrinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merle. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Gerrinian economy, worth 44.2 trillion Lumis a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,128 Lumis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gerrinians caught jaywalking often have their houses seized by the police, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, corruption is a game of two halves, and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gerrin's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Goddess Triad.

Gerrin is ranked 271,642^nd in the world and 703^rd in Horizon for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 26.03 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
