The Protectorate of Greyshoulders is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Vella Greyshoulders with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 4.802 billion citizens of Greyshoulders are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Own Sun. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Sigroganan economy, worth 465 trillion Brouzofs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,991 Brouzofs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
