The Champagne Socialists of Grussland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Brandt with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and vat-grown people. The compassionate population of 1.612 billion Grusslander enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hoffstadt. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grusslander economy, worth 205 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,492 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, only native-born Grusslander who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office, and tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grussland's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grussland is ranked 12,074^th in the world and 290^th in the Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,393.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
