The Grievous Gang of Gremlins is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 3.945 billion Gremlins are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Gremlin economy, worth 72.1 trillion Food after Midnights 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Pizza Delivery, Retail, Tourism, and Soda Sales. 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 18,280 Food after Midnights, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gremlins's national animal is the Mogwai, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gremlins is ranked 304,265th in the world and 1st in Global Imperial Federation for Highest Average Incomes, with 18,280.23 Standard Monetary Units.
