The Republican Community of Grestovia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme President of Grestovia with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 6.331 billion Grestovians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grestburg. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grestovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,120 trillion Grests 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 impressive 176,992 Grests, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Grests battlesuits, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, polygamy is legal, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grestovia's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Grestovia is ranked 242,018th in the world and 1,010th in Europe for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 56.21 Workforce Participation Rate.
