The Principality of Lesser Griswold is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 6.544 billion Lesser Griswoldians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 49.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Lesser Griswoldian economy, worth 213 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 32,642 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, the military maintains a fierce arsenal of 'Cure Missiles', family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and the mummified remains of former kings are apparently discovered every time a tourist loses their wallet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lesser Griswold's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Lesser Griswold is ranked 82,117^th in the world and 20^th in United Alliances for Largest Populations, with 6.54 billion capita.
