The Kingdom of Mister Grey is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.578 billion Mister Greyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mister Greyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 trillion Drams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 141,549 Drams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spies caught red-handed are served cocktails on their first-class flights home, couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten, Leader has been known to make speeches in fishing waders, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mister Grey's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mister Grey is ranked 9,416th in the world and 9th in Schopenhauer for Lowest Crime Rates, with 102.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
