The Fascist Federation of The Grand World Order is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Grand Commander GRIFFITH-II with an iron fist, and notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.228 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magna Polis. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, military spending is on the increase, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Grand World Order's national animal is the Griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Scientific Lutheranism, and its currency is the Federal Credit.

The Grand World Order is ranked 26th in Tyrrhenia and 95,114th in the world for Best Weather, with -1,739 Metres of Sunlight Above Expected.
