The Commonwealth of Grey Reef Shark is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 2.383 billion Grey Reef Sharkians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Grey Reef Sharkian economy, worth 127 trillion Apexias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,300 Apexias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, Grey Reef Shark is renowned for its lax gun laws, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grey Reef Shark's national animal is the Grey Reef Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Grey Reef Shark is ranked 164,180^th in the world and 95^th in Safari for Largest Populations, with 2.38 billion capita.
