The Queendom of Grenchstom is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 230 million Grenchstomians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Grenchstomian economy, worth 7.64 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 33,226 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grenchstom's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grenchstom is ranked 316,588^th in the world and 105^th in Ridgefield for Largest Black Market, with 3.70 billion Standard Monetary Units.
