The Free Land of Grue is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.236 billion Grueans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grueville. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gruean economy, worth 258 trillion Grue Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,779 Grue Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, and the Gruean delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grue's national animal is the Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Grue is ranked 217,977^th in the world and 9,554^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -173.51 on the Hayek Index.
