The Republic of Grund is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning dove population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 98 million Grundians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.6%.

The strong Grundian economy, worth 4.90 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 50,025 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grund's national animal is the dove.

Grund is ranked 233,035^th in the world and 1,026^th in Pacifism for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,215.16 Standard Monetary Units.
