The Grand Duchy of Wilhelm Karl Grimm is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, disturbing lack of elderly people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 7.546 billion Wilhelm Karl Grimmians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.2%.

The powerhouse Wilhelm Karl Grimmian economy, worth 604 trillion Conventionsthalers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,130 Conventionsthalers, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wilhelm Karl Grimm's national animal is the Big Bad Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wilhelm Karl Grimm is ranked 73,750th in the world and 10th in Fairy Tale for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,918.15 Standard Monetary Units.
