The Kingdom of Gerskidus is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Balazar with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful population of 13.983 billion Gerskidians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caiginia Ul. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gerskidian economy, worth a remarkable 2,904 trillion aurics a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 207,720 aurics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sports club owners are having a moneyball, Balazar's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gerskidus's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gerskidus is ranked 10,442^nd in the world and 4^th in Albion for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
