The Good Boys of Grubie is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Brain Cell with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.359 billion Grubieans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doof. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Grubiean economy, worth 116 trillion Treats 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 85,662 Treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The death penalty has been reintroduced, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grubie's national animal is the King Charles Cavalier, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Loving Mummy.

Grubie is ranked 279,152nd in the world and 160th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.95 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
