The God Given Strength of Granny Charlotte is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.066 billion Granny Charlotteans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Granny Charlottean economy, worth 703 trillion Chips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,584 Chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, the first test of a good kindergartener is the quality of the sponge-baths they give, Leader is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, and Granny Charlotteans incessantly needle their doctors for relief. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Granny Charlotte's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Granny Charlotte is ranked 268,503^rd in the world and 3^rd in Bakersville for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.87 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
