The Republic of Gressemphe is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Unknown with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.354 billion Gressempheans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gressemphe city. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gressemphean economy, worth 340 trillion Currencies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,622 Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Gressemphean weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gressemphe's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Gressemphe is ranked 263,176^th in the world and 909^th in Europeia for Most Avoided, scoring 0.7 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
