The Kingdom of Mister Grey is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.709 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 1,379 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 142,080 Drams, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glamping Mister Greyians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, in a baffling press conference Leader proudly dismantled a broken door, and the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves. 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 282,298th in the world and 11th in Schopenhauer for Most Patriotic, with 0.48 flags saluted per person per day.
