The Most Serene Republic of Gramman is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Zca Zca Poppipopulos with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.72 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Social Equality and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal City in the Clouds. The average income tax rate is 76%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

All judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Crystal City in the Clouds Times is sold out, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and large areas of Gramman are not accessible by the public. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gramman's national animal is the Mercury Hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Zumma.

Gramman is ranked 2,462nd in Lazarus and 99,571st in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
