The Techno-Corporatocracy of Grackle Rock is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Lord Steward Percival van der Brugge with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 24.552 billion Connsumores enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Horatius. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Grackle Rockian economy, worth a remarkable 7,449 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 303,400 guilders, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

No one is worried about government policies any more, baiting is a national sport, posters on 'Grackle Rockian Values' advise against being proud of Grackle Rock, and trust-fund babies line up for places in community college. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Grackle Rock's national animal is the grackle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capitalizm.

Grackle Rock is ranked 229,709th in the world and 1st in Bardo for Most Stationary, with 25.22580329992 days.
