The Grand Shark Philosophy of Genuna is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lumi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.212 billion Genunans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sharkland. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Genunan economy, worth 367 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,409 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, belief that Lumi is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high, legend has it Lumi's shower singing echoes through the halls of government, and the government is giving peace a chance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Genuna's national animal is the Great White Shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Genunism.

Genuna is ranked 49,670^th in the world and 389^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 114,409.44 Standard Monetary Units.
