The Free Land of Eastern Geenientan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Council of Gientien with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.201 billion Eastern Geenientienians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Culnopa. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Geenientienian economy, worth 387 trillion Gientiens 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 led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,228 Gientiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle. Crime is totally unknown. Eastern Geenientan's national animal is the Meerkat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eastern Geenientan is ranked 154,975^th in the world and 737^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 831.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
