The Polyarchy of Geninia is a colossal, economically powerful nation, notable for its enforced nudity. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.664 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and Healthcare are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glynt. The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Geninia's national animal is the carlo pedersoli, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Geninia is ranked 412th in Europe and 92,081st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
