The Technorepublic of Gentea is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ena Dreesen with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.908 billion Genteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

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 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Gentean economy, worth a remarkable 1,015 trillion gentan marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 171,822 gentan marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, solid-gold toilets are Gentean prisons' least expensive furnishings, most ambassadors from Gentea retire only a few years after being appointed, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gentea's national animal is the cardinal bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Gentea is ranked 268,100^th in the world and 12,555^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -581.75 on the Hayek Index.
