The Empire of The Greatest Place is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Eternal General with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 1.319 billion Greatest Placeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ravenian. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Greatest Placean economy, worth 160 trillion Toms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 121,795 Toms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greatest Place's national animal is the Otter, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Greatest Place is ranked 70,309^th in the world and 10^th in Yorkshire for Most Secular, with 18.89 Atheism Rate.
