The Theocratic Empire of Geniocratics is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Havlock Franklin with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 32.29 billion Geniocrats 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havenbridge. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient cratic economy, worth a remarkable 5,842 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 180,928 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids who move from attending a public school in the city to the country often struggle in goat milking class, migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, overcrowded buses are the new normal for suburban commuters, and nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic cratic surveillance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Geniocratics's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Geniocratics.

Geniocratics is ranked 5,008^th in the world and 4^th in Austritaria for Most Developed, scoring 94.57 on the Human Development Index.
