The Empire of Greznov is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.917 billion Greznovians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 55.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Greznovian economy, worth 98.7 trillion Kaysargelts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 33,851 Kaysargelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, hairdressers are forced to use all the tricks of the trade after citizens became required to wear helmets at all times, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, and citizens wouldn't recognise Leader if they passed one another on the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greznov's national animal is the Silver Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Greznov is ranked 145,401^st in the world and 5,422^nd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 572.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
