The Island of Little Guernsey is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 13.15 billion Little Guernseyians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Little Guernseyian economy, worth 249 trillion Ganjas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,954 Ganjas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Little Guernsey's national animal is the Guernsey Cow.

Little Guernsey is ranked 87,992nd in the world and 629th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
