The Region Keeper of Groye is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.422 billion Groyeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savannah. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Groyean economy, worth 680 trillion tors 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. 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 153,798 tors, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, supervisors in Groye commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, and builders across Groye are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Groye's national animal is the bee, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Groye is ranked 112,713th in the world and 789th in ArilCards Inc for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,527.7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
