The Dancing Couple of Grometheus is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Eda with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.859 billion Grometheusians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boiling Isles. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grometheusian economy, worth 647 trillion snails a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,531 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The travel industry is booming as pregnant women book tickets for "weekend trips" overseas, bald-headed monks sit around the National Meditation Park looking smugly content, the internal market is thriving, and the military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grometheus's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

Grometheus is ranked 44,883rd in the world and 23rd in Temporary Home for Most Stationary, with 982.65025999232 days.
