The Jolly Fields of Lower French Gregballs is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Anne-Marie Juliette with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.166 billion Lower French Gregballists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Greg Ball Academy in the Fields. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Lower French Gregballsian economy, worth 945 trillion Florins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,654 Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anne-Marie Juliette claims to know what infants are thinking, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, grinning punters say that casino roulette is the greatest high that life has to offer, and the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Lower French Gregballsian Desert. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower French Gregballs's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Attarti.

Lower French Gregballs is ranked 34,665th in the world and 2,248th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
