The Federation of Grand Krypton is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.636 billion Grand Kryptonians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grand Kryptonian economy, worth 967 trillion gold coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 112,024 gold coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, document forgery is a critical skill for would-be politicians, and nuclear warheads are frequently launched into space as a warning to invading meteoroids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Krypton's national animal is the bison, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Melchizedek Order.

Grand Krypton is ranked 25,049th in the world and 14th in Ancient for Most Stationary, with 1,459.82276710172 days.
