The Federal Republic of Grindania is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grind Eanu with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.887 billion Grindanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of OUG13. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grindanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,943 trillion bytecoins a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,026 bytecoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown. Grindania's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grindania is ranked 11,869^th in the world and 4^th in Calefacta Aquas Piscinae for Most Cultured, scoring 106 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
