The Free Land of Eastern Geenientan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by the Council of Gientien with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.896 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 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 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eastern Geenientienian economy, worth 262 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 Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 90,526 Gientiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, Eastern Geenientan has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. 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 287,701^st in the world and 1,417^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -18.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
