The Federation of Green Space is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 518 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freezasburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Information Technology industries.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, mothers are routinely abandoning their children in the name of women's rights, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown. Green Space's national animal is the Space Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Spacebux.

Green Space is ranked 3rd in Galo Sector and 69,837th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
