The Empire of Grijo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Gaius Antonius with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.601 billion Grijoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Refesa. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grijoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,000 trillion Denários a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 158,717 Denários, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, no one born in Grijo can fix a leaky faucet, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grijo's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paganismo Greco-Romano.

Grijo is ranked 203,825^th in the world and 82^nd in Portugal for Largest Black Market, with 443 billion Standard Monetary Units.
