The Federation of Grablante is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, soft-spoken computers, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 206 million Grablanteans 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 minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 4.8%.

The strong Grablantean economy, worth 15.8 trillion sannats 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 Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,463 sannats, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, only the wealthy vote, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Grablante's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Grablante is ranked 88,806^th in the world and 2,785^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 34.23 quips per hour.
