The Germanic Kingdom of Gepids is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Thurisind II with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.469 billion Gepidsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Budapest. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.

The strong Gepidsian economy, worth 228 trillion Breads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. Average income is 65,990 Breads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Two inland cities have unveiled their new desalination plants, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Gepids's national animal is the Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Arianism.

Gepids is ranked 90,174^th in the world and 102^nd in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 106.3 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
