The Jolly Fresh Fields of Lower French Gregballs is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Anne-Marie Juliette with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.096 billion Lower French Gregballists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Greg Ball Academy in the Fields. The average income tax rate is 91.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lower French Gregballsian economy, worth 588 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,887 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, major boxing matches are held in government buildings, the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower French Gregballs's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tangerinism.

Lower French Gregballs is ranked 211,327^th in the world and 236^th in Refugia for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.78 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
