The Queendom of Grand Stone is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.458 billion Titans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ragnarok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Titan economy, worth 730 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,305 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.
Diplomatic cables about Leader have suddenly been very flattering, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Stone's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Francoism.
Grand Stone is ranked 13,950th in the world and 280th in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 10,764.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
