The Technorepublic of Gentea is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Ludwig Esteves with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.433 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 3,008 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 208,445 common gentean credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The real art was the AI friends we made along the way, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, and schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks. 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 2,413^th in the world and 54^th in The Leftist Assembly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.11 percentage of bribes refused.
