The Republic of Gembox 97 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, digital currency, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 3.482 billion Gembox 97ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.9%.

The thriving Gembox 97ian economy, worth 272 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 78,232 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,138 per year while the poor average 17,947, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools, foxes are considered a delicacy, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Fox Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gembox 97's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Gembox 97 is ranked 22,706th in the world and 1,284th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,404.8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
