The Himalayan Trouting Queendom of Gesaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Alexandra Aezelja Dawa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.4 billion Gesarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment, Law & Order, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Social Policy and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caldemount. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gesarian economy, worth 123 trillion Gesarian Qaks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 88,305 Gesarian Qaks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 445,299 per year while the poor average 9,762, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

13-year-old internet trolls are treated as a threat on par with terrorists, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, when it comes to smarts Queen Alexandra Aezelja Dawa isn't the brightest gem in the collection, and you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs. Crime is a problem. Gesaria's national animal is the Ice Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gesarism.

Gesaria is ranked 130,680th in the world and 2,429th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,242.28 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
