The State of GRB is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 36.666 billion GRBians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Education, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The very strong GRBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 33,327 betales, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

GRB has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of GRB in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as GRB's national religion, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. GRB's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

GRB is ranked 257,953^rd in the world and 1^st in TWC Senate for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 19.75 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
