The Queendom of Growball is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 16.198 billion Growballs love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Growballian economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion golden days a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,551 golden days, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, judges are rumored to find in favor of whoever bribes them the most, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, and hospitals are amongst the best-funded in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Growball's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Growball is ranked 13,100^th in the world and 1^st in Exercise Ball for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,345.49 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
