The Technorepublic of Gentea is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Ludwig Esteves with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, national health service, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.273 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 2,930 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 205,345 common gentean credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has spread itself thin, scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Ludwig Esteves is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. 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 10,449^th in the world and 34^th in The Leftist Assembly for Highest Average Incomes, with 205,345.77 Standard Monetary Units.
