Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Principality of Grandma-Man is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Yoshi with a fair hand, and notable for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.258 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grandma-Man City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, and corporations are either above the law or corrupting it. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grandma-Man's national animal is the Yoshi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cheapskate monthly.

Grandma-Man is ranked 2nd in Europeia and 433rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
