The Kakistocracy of Grothbord is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the ghost of revter trochev with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.293 billion Grothbordians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of trochevs grave. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Grothic economy, worth a remarkable 2,956 trillion cowrie shells a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,315 cowrie shells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
First-time moms are expected to be experienced parents from day one, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, the freedom to be free is always just out of reach, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grothbord's national animal is the Pangolin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Anti-Vayonism.
Grothbord is ranked 3,095th in the world and 143rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 129.41 law-abiding acts per hour.
