The United States of Grande Guanabara is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dom Bruno Cláudio da Guanabara with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.749 billion Cariocas are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estácio de Sá. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Carioca economy, worth 312 trillion Libra Americanas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 178,575 Libra Americanas, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, planes with cockpit glass are reserved for the top pilots, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and a five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grande Guanabara's national animal is the Arara Azul, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Grande Guanabara is ranked 211,693^rd in the world and 3,261^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.05 Obesity Rate.
