The People's Republic of Grenri is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.722 billion Grenriites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Wilmington. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Grenrian economy, worth 923 trillion doubloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,848 doubloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Grenriites made a dessert and called it peace, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, and write-in candidate 'Leader Sucks' is perennially popular. Crime is totally unknown. Grenri's national animal is the bokoblin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grenri is ranked 288,799th in the world and 171st in Anarchy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -21.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
