The Himalayan Trouting Queendom of Gesaria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Alexandra Aezelja Dawa with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, hatred of cheese, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.373 billion Gesarians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Environment, Public Transport, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Social Policy and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caldemount. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Gesarian economy, worth 120 trillion Gesarian Qaks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 87,524 Gesarian Qaks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 424,301 per year while the poor average 10,450, a ratio of 40.6 to 1.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, there's a bustling black market for vegetables, legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", and news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Queen Alexandra Aezelja Dawa tend to disappear. Crime is moderate. Gesaria's national animal is the Ice Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Gesarism.

Gesaria is ranked 71,161st in the world and 1,614th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 87,524.07 Standard Monetary Units.
