The Ghosts of Grill is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mr Grill with an even hand, and notable for its enforced nudity and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.561 billion Grillians 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, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barbecue. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The Grillian economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 42,359 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'goatdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, Toast has been named as Grill's national religion, Mr Grill has just been declared ruler of Grill in an international press conference, and Grill has designated Barbecue as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Grill's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Toast.

Grill is ranked 78,561^st in the world and 1^st in Tears of Europa for Most Beautiful Environments, with 597.96 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
