The Prosaic Union of Gnejs is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Tangeus Oxwald with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 22.648 billion Gnejsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Kejm. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gnejsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,362 trillion Leaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 192,616 Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Gnejsians made a dessert and called it peace, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the government is avowedly secular. Crime is totally unknown. Gnejs's national animal is the mallard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amor Fati.

Gnejs is ranked 3,722^nd in the world and 5^th in Rushmore for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 96.78 Effective Tax Rate.
