The People's Socialist Union of Grofheim is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minster Fionna Sigmarsdottir with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.46 billion Grofheimers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talos. The average income tax rate is 93.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Grofheimian economy, worth 941 trillion krónas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 111,238 krónas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stern tutting by international commentators has persuaded Grofheim to disarm, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Prime Minster Fionna Sigmarsdottir's throne. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grofheim's national animal is the Northern Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Norse.

Grofheim is ranked 8,558^th in the world and 438^th in Osiris for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91.87 years.
