The Republic of Grecklin is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sovar Grecklin with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 26.797 billion Grecklinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tevlin. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Grecklinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion Muleshoes 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,782 Muleshoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers have seized control of the economy, police officers spend more time on calisthenics than actually catching criminals, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grecklin's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Grecklinatism.

Grecklin is ranked 40,281^st in the world and 4^th in Grecklandia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,262.55 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
