The Republic of Gramont-Ornieres is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Marianne Blanchet with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.292 billion Gramont-Ornieresians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verviers. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Gramont-Ornieresian economy, worth a remarkable 3,114 trillion Livres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 170,255 Livres, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Dessert dishes make up the Gramont-Ornieresian breakfast menu, a soldier's body is a temple, the government's suggestions box is curiously empty these days, and solid-gold toilets are Gramont-Ornieresian prisons' least expensive furnishings. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gramont-Ornieres's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.
Gramont-Ornieres is ranked 3,761st in the world and 2nd in League of Sovereign Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 123.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
