The Jingoistic States of Grisylow is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 318 million Grisylowians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.7%.

The strong Grisylowian economy, worth 15.8 trillion Grisles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,671 Grisles, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Grisylow will pay them to stop. Crime is moderate. Grisylow's national animal is the Hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grisylow is ranked 154,313^th in the world and 3^rd in Roses Without Thorns for Nudest, with 128.25 cheeks per square mile.
