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 complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.59 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 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Granskiyean economy, worth 228 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 fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 143,701 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. 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 22,871^st in the world and 107^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 44.41 flags saluted per person per day.
