The Fascist Federation of The Grand World Order is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Commander Athena Agatha Griffith with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 36.589 billion Orderians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magna Polis. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grand World Orderian economy, worth an astonishing 15,960 trillion Federal Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 436,222 Federal Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Grand Commander Athena Agatha Griffith's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. The Grand World Order's national animal is the Great Horned Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Federal Orthodox Church of Christ.

The Grand World Order is ranked 857^th in the world and 29^th in Lazarus for Highest Poor Incomes, with 280,927.97 Standard Monetary Units.
