The State of Grand Islands is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 21.07 billion Grand Islandsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.

The very strong Grand Islandsian economy, worth 598 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 28,382 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,963 per year while the poor average 1,525, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, voting is voluntary, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and Grand Islands has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Grand Islands's national animal is the deer.

Grand Islands is ranked 182,725^th in the world and 7^th in Freedom Front for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
