The Music World of Grateful Dead is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Jerry Garcia with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 23.163 billion Grateful Deadians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Haight-Ashbury. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Grateful Deadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,292 trillion tickets a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,135 tickets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Jerry Garcia is a silly poophead, and kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Grateful Dead's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The League For Spiritual Discovery.

Grateful Dead is ranked 642^nd in the world and 1^st in The Grateful Dead for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 18,152.93 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
