The Most Serene Republic of Gemmisland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tomaso Lemmi with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.407 billion Gemmislandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal Falls. The average income tax rate is 12.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gemmislandian economy, worth 154 trillion Gemmiskas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,659 Gemmiskas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Gemmiska charge on their phone bill, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, and there's a big brother in every prison. Crime is totally unknown. Gemmisland's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gemmislandian Agnosticism.

Gemmisland is ranked 275,746^th in the world and 641^st in 10000 Islands for Most Avoided, scoring 1.18 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
