The Technorepublic of Gentea is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ludwig Esteves with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.308 billion Genteans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Treovia. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gentean economy, worth a remarkable 2,950 trillion common gentean credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 206,247 common gentean credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, war is made in the name of love, the national economy makes a whole lot of nothing, and the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks. Crime is totally unknown. Gentea's national animal is the cardinal bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gentea is ranked 326,086^th in the world and 796^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.05 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
