The United Socialist State of Gine Caruttiva is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Father Gine with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.14 billion Gines 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caruttiva. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ginian economy, worth 464 trillion Socials 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 148,052 Socials, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, the government is flooded with compensation requests, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gine Caruttiva's national animal is the worker bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ginia Yodlism.

Gine Caruttiva is ranked 12,044^th in the world and 7^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 9,003.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
