The Democratic Republic of Grananthaia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Redlow with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 13.402 billion Grananthaians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grananthaia City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Grananthaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,658 trillion Relics a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,778 Relics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kissing cousins produce the heartiest babies, the 'three Rs' have become the 'four Rs' with the addition of Rightful Thought, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grananthaia's national animal is the Flying Fox, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grananthaia is ranked 279,538^th in the world and 132^nd in Canada for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 6,065.14 Standard Monetary Units.
