The Dancing Is A Man's Game of Gene Kelly is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dance with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, flagrant waste-dumping, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.523 billion Gene Kellyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburgh. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Gene Kellyian economy, worth a remarkable 7,566 trillion Dance Steps a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 296,471 Dance Steps, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, visiting the best Gene Kellyian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, Pittsburgh's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gene Kelly's national animal is the Athletic Ballerina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Gene Kelly is ranked 5,462nd in the world and 499th in NationStates for Most Corrupt Governments, with 215.2 kickbacks per hour.
