The Social Republic of Grebanistan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bonelàn Zainesky with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.648 billion Grebanots are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grebanburg. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Grebanot economy, worth a remarkable 1,329 trillion Grebancoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 235,451 Grebancoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Standing on a chair to reach a top shelf is seen as evidence of narcissistic personality disorder, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Grebanistan but at least the trains run on time, pet owners want to know why their animals keep smiling at them, and Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grebanistan's national animal is the Grebanist Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Grebanistic Bhalidism.

Grebanistan is ranked 45,822nd in the world and 84th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 952.60117505708 days.
