The Kingdom of Grodisze is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bogumił I Popielowski with a fair hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.637 billion Grodiszeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Letnica. The average income tax rate is 14.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Grodiszean economy, worth 200 trillion piasts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 122,653 piasts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The entire entry for Grodisze in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, and military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grodisze's national animal is the white-tailed eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Grodisze is ranked 159,359^th in the world and 901^st in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
