The Republic of Granevia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Élise Boucher with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 5.835 billion Granevians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Michel-Depres. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Granevian economy, worth 611 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,763 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The banhammer is a standard police sidearm, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', and careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Granevia's national animal is the Sparrow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Granevia is ranked 178,397th in the world and 896th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 49.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
