The Empire of Grijo is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Gaius Antonius with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.042 billion Grijoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Refesa. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grijoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,756 trillion Denários a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 159,116 Denários, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The atmosphere in Grijoan boardrooms is turning more gay, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grijo's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paganismo Greco-Romano.

Grijo is ranked 284,592^nd in the world and 148^th in Portugal for Most Primitive, scoring -418.64 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
