The State of Black Grenadieres is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 39.955 billion Black Grenadieresians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.
The powerhouse Black Grenadieresian economy, worth a remarkable 2,175 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 54,443 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 204,908 per year while the poor average 10,089, a ratio of 20.3 to 1.
Homosexuality is a crime punishable by death, thousands of cute furry kittens are trampling everything in their path (Black Grenadieres has found 1 easter egg), the Governor has just been declared ruler of Black Grenadieres in an international press conference, and future leaders of Black Grenadieres regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Black Grenadieres's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Black Grenadieres is ranked 253,115th in the world and 4th in Kingdom Of England And Wales for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
