The Free Land of Eastern Geenientan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Council of Gientien with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.962 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, socially-minded, 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 80.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Geenientienian economy, worth 266 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 89,812 Gientiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, and The Council of Gientien is famed for giving great back rubs. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 6,392^nd in the world and 139^th in Europe for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 58.24 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
