The Disputed Territories of Griftlands is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.275 billion Griftlandsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Public Transport, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Industry receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The strong Griftlandsian economy, worth 519 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 42,313 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,765 per year while the poor average 5,262, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the nation has become a pariah for giving pirates letters of marque, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Griftlands's national animal is the griffon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Griftlands is ranked 293,404^th in the world and 267^th in Eurth for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
