The Republic of Grenlern is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 219 million Grenlernians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The thriving Grenlernian economy, worth 16.7 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 76,342 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,441 per year while the poor average 17,566, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Career advisors ask sociopathic orphan girls if they have considered becoming professional assassins, bris parties are all the rage, jaywalking will put an end to a family tree, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Grenlern's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Grenlern is ranked 186,545^th in the world and 4,604^th in The North Pacific for Highest Economic Output, with 16.7 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
