The Borderlands of Grey-69 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.23 billion Grey-69ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.8%.

The Grey-69ian economy, worth 49.1 trillion bits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. Average income is 39,900 bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Grey-69's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grey-69 is ranked 224,153^rd in the world and 9,253^rd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
