The Federation of The Clans of Grassland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Five Chiefs with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 3.884 billion Grasslanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meeting Place. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Grasslander economy, worth 154 trillion potches a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,705 potches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
The Five Chiefs is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Clans of Grassland's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
The Clans of Grassland is ranked 71,805th in the world and 13th in The Universal Federation for Most Stationary, with 659.93580680748 days.
