The State of Grober Saal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.682 billion Grober Saalians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The strong Grober Saalian economy, worth 890 trillion betales a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 53,355 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, organ donation is compulsory, Grober Saal has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Grober Saal in an international press conference. Crime is a problem. Grober Saal's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grober Saal is ranked 247,276^th in the world and 6^th in Australia Commonwealth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 52.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
