The Empire of Geonomia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Taylor Wytsel with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 7.507 billion Geonomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Katalinika. The average income tax rate is 4.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Geonomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,468 trillion Dekmals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 195,578 Dekmals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Abaci are burned at the stake for being calculating, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Empress Taylor Wytsel, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Geonomia's national animal is the Puma, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Geonomia is ranked 26,527^th in the world and 1,891^st in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
