The Constitutional Monarchy of Granny Z is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Granny Zepeto de Axixic with an iron fist, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.403 billion Granny Zians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zlott Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Granny Zian economy, worth 778 trillion Zbucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,196 Zbucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 334,595 per year while the poor average 25,179, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

The land is no place for fish, military funding has been stripped back, the secret ingredient is love (and MSG), and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Granny Z's national animal is the Virus Covid-19, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Conservative Liberalism.

Granny Z is ranked 219,711th in the world and 10th in Sheol for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 45.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
