The Woodhouse Sanctum of Genesta is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The democratic, devout population of 24.964 billion Genestans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Genestan economy, worth a remarkable 1,816 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,759 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million $$s of property damage, write-in candidate 'Leader Sucks' is perennially popular, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, and brazen mayors claim official expenses to pay for their drug habits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Genesta's national animal is the ^-^, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Genesta is ranked 112,581^st in the world and 1^st in The CCON for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
