Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Fascist Federation of The Grand World Order is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Grand Commander GRIFFITH-II with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.864 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magna Polis. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, otherwise healthy people are being sent to internment camps because they have VODAIS, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in The Grand World Order's many privately-owned prisons, and a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Grand World Order's national animal is the Griffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Scientific Lutheranism, and its currency is the Federal Credit.

The Grand World Order is ranked 1st in Tyrrhenia and 190th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 75 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
