The Most Serene Republic of Carignanum is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.398 billion Genoveses have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genova. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Genovese economy, worth 449 trillion Genovins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,257 Genovins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Public parks are littered with cigarette butts, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Carignanum's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Carignanum is ranked 18,126^th in the world and 254^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 132,257.2 Standard Monetary Units.
