The Matriarchy of Greeley is a small, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 32 million Greeleyians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Greeleyian economy, worth 931 billion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is 29,111 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greeley's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greeley is ranked 176,614^th in the world and 283^rd in Talonia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 90.84 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
