The Freedmen of Greater Gravesend is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by El Presidente with an even hand, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 13.852 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denton. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, Greater Gravesend's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Gravesend's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Euro.

Greater Gravesend is ranked 5th in Snopesean Archipelago and 99,148th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
