The District of Greyback is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The hard-working population of 30.719 billion Greybackians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 49.3%.

The Greybackian economy, worth a remarkable 1,425 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,414 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Greyback has designated District City as its capital city. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greyback's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greyback is ranked 181,222^nd in the world and 6^th in the Bahamas for Highest Food Quality, scoring 13.18 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
