The Republic of Granluras is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Carlos Lenor with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 6.713 billion Granlurasians 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.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santiagida. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Granlurasian economy, worth 609 trillion Pedrosas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,776 Pedrosas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, it's always rabbit season, open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Granluras's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Granluras is ranked 265,958th in the world and 10,404th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
