The Oppressed Peoples of Grubnerual is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 3.98 billion Grubnerualians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Grubnerualian economy, worth 164 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,238 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grubnerual's national animal is the Hund, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grubnerual is ranked 189,858^th in the world and 4^th in Great Laurenburg for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
