The Principality of New Genovia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 734 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 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Genovian economy, worth 69.8 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 95,113 genoves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new one genove coin also makes a handy throwing-star, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, kids' party bags often contain candy and e-cigarettes, and the country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history. 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 147,921^st in the world and 730^th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 840.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
