The Emerald Kingdom of Gheta is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Julie II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory vegetarianism, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.809 billion Ghetics enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bondon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The powerhouse Ghetic economy, worth 166 trillion Emeralds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,148 Emeralds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,645 per year while the poor average 25,113, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Only lightning has a chance of striking Julie II twice, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, the water doesn't come out of the faucet with the same rush that it used to, and military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Gheta's national animal is the Emerald Unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Evangelism.

Gheta is ranked 266,395^th in the world and 710^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 9.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
