The Council of Gregorg is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Our Leader with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.336 billion Gregorgians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City-1. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gregorgian economy, worth 552 trillion Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 127,307 Marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 387,129 per year while the poor average 32,512, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and Gregorgian husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gregorg's national animal is the Something, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Something.

Gregorg is ranked 5,886^th in the world and 1^st in Grego for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 9,759.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
