The Matriarchy of Wailing Grannies is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27 billion Wailing Granniesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.2%.

The strong Wailing Granniesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,991 trillion shrouds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 110,783 shrouds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 628,083 per year while the poor average 9,553, a ratio of 65.7 to 1.

A decrease in wailing and gnashing of teeth at astronomical events is reducing demand for dentistry, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Wailing Grannies's national animal is the corpse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Disapproving Catholics.

Wailing Grannies is ranked 1,244th in the world and 9th in Nudist Dreamland for Most Stationary, with 4,456.6638144 days.
