The Principality of New Genovia is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 711 million New Genovians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Genovian economy, worth 66.6 trillion genoves a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,672 genoves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Genovia's national animal is the Pear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Genovia is ranked 25,893^rd in the world and 368^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,983.82 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
