The New Hyperion Autocracy of Genesis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mathias Khalenberg with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.961 billion Genesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geonosis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Genesisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,978 trillion Coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 93,183 Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,366 per year while the poor average 18,698, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

The government now pays the "Really Awesome Super Heroes" (RASH) to catch evildoers, calisthenics is a well-known tax-dodging technique, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Genesis, and Mathias Khalenberg knows that some internet activities are strictly solitary (Genesis has found 6 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Genesis's national animal is the Joechilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Order of Genesis.

Genesis is ranked 35,630^th in the world and 9^th in New Hyperion for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 14,786.62 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
