The Most Serene Republic of Carignanum is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.503 billion Genoveses enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized 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 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Genovese economy, worth a remarkable 1,071 trillion Genovins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 142,826 Genovins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, foreign leaders are advising that Leader's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 116,906^th in the world and 501^st in Europe for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 956.66 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
