The Most Serene Republic of Gymnostan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Archimedes D'Siracusa with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, humorless population of 27.53 billion Gymnostanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Godiva City. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gymnostani economy, worth a remarkable 2,070 trillion verduroes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,199 verduroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, homophobia is off the menu, the sanitised and dull music festivals of Gymnostan are famed for their reasonable volume levels, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gymnostan's national animal is the Gymnostani Mastiff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Naturism.

Gymnostan is ranked 8,977th in the world and 264th in the South Pacific for Safest, scoring 122.74 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
