The Republic of Grodeni is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its burgeoning None population. The hard-working, democratic population of 218 million Grodenians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The thriving Grodenian economy, worth 13.7 trillion GDNS a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 63,062 GDNS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 223,222 per year while the poor average 12,863, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Grodeni's national animal is the None, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Grodeni is ranked 226,148^th in the world and 289^th in Christians for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 41.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
