The Republic of Groan is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, digital currency, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 3.895 billion Groanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Groanian economy, worth 323 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,108 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, the main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, and welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Groan's national animal is the Pony.

Groan is ranked 274,803rd in the world and 658th in Sunset Shimmer for Smartest Citizens, with 20.48 quips per hour.
