The Federal Republic of Gran Rugido is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 323 million Gran Rugidoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laurua. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Gran Rugidoan economy, worth 30.7 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,043 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, international tensions are high as Gran Rugido threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, and the nation's reinforced coffee tables are constructed to survive an atomic blast. Crime is totally unknown. Gran Rugido's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gran Rugido is ranked 20,163^rd in the world and 71^st in Anteria for Best Weather, with 155 Meters Of Sunlight.
