The Anti-Zombie Defense Forces of Grangewood Grove is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Grove Council with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.272 billion Survivors are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Town Hall. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Survivor economy, worth a remarkable 2,923 trillion Scavenged Goods a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,271 Scavenged Goods, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.
The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby The Grove Council Pics" has made the Grove Council's mom a celebrity, the government spends millions of Scavenged Goods every year prosecuting spammers, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grangewood Grove's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Zombie Killing.
Grangewood Grove is ranked 32,522nd in the world and 9th in After the Fall for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
