The Empire of Grandiluz is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Gabriel Ni Albor with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.74 billion Grandiluzians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlotte. The average income tax rate is 87.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Grandiluzian economy, worth 396 trillion Granis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 83,715 Granis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even secular Grandiluzians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, the children of Grandiluz are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and the only way to escape lengthy prison terms is in a body bag. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grandiluz's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grandiluz is ranked 29,179^th in the world and 1,948^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 75,802.12 Standard Monetary Units.
