“We stand together for a better tomorrow”

The Federal Republic of Greal is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.49 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 devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sasha. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greal's national animal is the Blackish Blue Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Greal Dollar.

Greal is ranked 45th in the region and 54,986th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
