The Democratic States of The Greylands is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.864 billion Greylandsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Greylandsian economy, worth 340 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,730 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Swan Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Greylands's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The Greylands is ranked 11,318th in the world and 594th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,170.76 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
