The Great Lands of Grishahakkaverchynot is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Verchy Rulers with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.635 billion Verchies enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savisia. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Verchy economy, worth 886 trillion points a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 102,640 points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, Savisia's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and the government denies that it has an agency overseeing plausible deniability of black-ops agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive. Grishahakkaverchynot's national animal is the bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Grishahakkaverchynot is ranked 239,214^th in the world and 371^st in Astoria for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.09 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
