The United Provinces of Grenaria is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Chairbirdson with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.784 billion Grenarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grenaria City. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Grenarian economy, worth 118 trillion Grens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,541 Grens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season, it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from The Chairbirdson's childhood, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grenaria's national animal is the Flaming Kiwi, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Orthodox Birdism.

Grenaria is ranked 206,720th in the world and 10,850th in Lazarus for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 199.13 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
