Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Blacklisted State of The Genesis Founder is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Kallen Kozuki with an even hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.904 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chimera. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', a major religion has been named as The Genesis Founder's national religion, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Genesis Founder's national animal is the Drumming Gorilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Euro.

The Genesis Founder is ranked 1st in Genesis and 45,200th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -12 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
