The Empire of Grellania is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Frederick Hessendorf with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 27.768 billion Grellanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grellania City. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grellanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,253 trillion Grellanian Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,169 Grellanian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grellania's national animal is the Nakkadile, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Morality.

Grellania is ranked 5,288^th in the world and 10^th in International Democratic Union for Safest, scoring 130.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
