The Republic of Ambitious Grasp is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.723 billion Ambitious Graspians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The strong Ambitious Graspian economy, worth 132 trillion catnips a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 48,653 catnips, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,318 per year while the poor average 5,083, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Polygamy is legal, a major religion has been named as Ambitious Grasp's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Ambitious Grasp in an international press conference, and the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ambitious Grasp's national animal is the black cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ambitious Grasp is ranked 220,942^nd in the world and 4^th in Les Rouge Mann for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,018.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
