The Democratic Republic of Jenesia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Trixie Lamour with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.982 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Funkytown. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, the internet has been placed under government control, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jenesia's national animal is the Sacred Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Euro.

Jenesia is ranked 1st in Europe and 76th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 35 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
