The Free Land of Grass Block is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, fear of technology, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.514 billion Grass Blockians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.2%.

The strong Grass Blockian economy, worth 88.9 trillion Grass Blocks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,712 Grass Blocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and some say that Leader can't handle the truth but can handle truth-seekers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grass Block's national animal is the Grass Block, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grass Block is ranked 291,196th in the world and 304th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 193.69 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
