The Protectorate of Greyshoulders is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vella Greyshoulders with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and digital currency. The cynical population of 5.029 billion citizens of Greyshoulders are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hell's Own Sun. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sigroganan economy, worth 483 trillion Brouzofs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,208 Brouzofs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Gigantic marble churches take up almost half the land area of small villages, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greyshoulders's national animal is the Imperial Vampire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Magic and Science.

Greyshoulders is ranked 210,309th in the world and 26th in Anime for Safest, scoring 33.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
