The Coastal Town of El Granada is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Jackie Speier with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.398 billion El Granadans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Surfers Beach. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient El Granadan economy, worth a remarkable 2,276 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 130,854 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ban on cars has been repealed, people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, and sex changes are routinely performed at El Granada's hospitals. Crime is totally unknown. El Granada's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Neo-Paganism.

El Granada is ranked 2,765^th in the world and 1^st in Half Moon Bay for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.02 percentage of bribes refused.
