The Republic of Granttland is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.38 billion Granttlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Granttlandian economy, worth 152 trillion Euros 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Retail. Average income is an impressive 110,635 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Granttland's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Granttland is ranked 308,421^st in the world and 424^th in Edoca for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.05 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
