The Grant of Palatina is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Stanislao Serracchiani with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.184 billion Palatinans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brastoia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.

The very strong Palatinan economy, worth 990 trillion livroes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 69,864 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 232,533 per year while the poor average 15,641, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, Palatina has designated Brastoia as its capital city, Stanislao Serracchiani has just been declared ruler of Palatina in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Palatina's national religion. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Palatina's national animal is the St Kyles dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Palatina is ranked 44,748^th in the world and 15^th in Grant for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,685.7 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
