The Holy Empire of Gregalia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.053 billion Gregs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greg. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Gregish economy, worth 520 trillion Chessbricks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,090 Chessbricks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pocket calculators are seen as status symbols for the ostentatiously wealthy, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, and the Smythe is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gregalia's national animal is the Smythe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gregalia is ranked 51,589th in the world and 98th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 864.9812519672 days.
