The Incorporated States of Genistarr is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chairman Adam Stanbridge with an even hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.868 billion Genistarrians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Morrigan Station. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Genistarrian economy, worth a remarkable 5,516 trillion Gold coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 397,821 Gold coins, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,225,270 per year while the poor average 35,361, a ratio of 62.9 to 1.

If foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Genistarr, agricultural science is the most competitive subject at universities, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Chairman Adam Stanbridge, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Genistarr's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mammon.

Genistarr is ranked 284,507^th in the world and 127^th in Federation of Martian Colonies for Safest, scoring 5.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
