The Democratic Socialist States of Greater Granskiye is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairman Bao Bedong with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.454 billion Greater Granskiyeans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital-Subdivision 12. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Granskiyean economy, worth 213 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 146,620 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, children are raised bilingual from an early age, money grows on trees, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Granskiye's national animal is the Gransk' Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Greater Granskiye is ranked 38,745^th in the world and 316^th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
