The Blooming Commonwealth of Grod Island is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chairperson Thomas Rokotui with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.159 billion Grodians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uttamakota. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Grodian economy, worth a remarkable 4,410 trillion Dollops a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 242,900 Dollops, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Third world countries are rich in "I Love Uttamakota" t-shirts, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grod Island's national animal is the Rhinoceros Hornbill, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Grod Island is ranked 986^th in the world and 14^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 15,784.15 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
