The Kingdom of Grecklea is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tonda Karakalua with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 26.87 billion Greckleans are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tonlea. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Grecklean economy, worth 850 trillion Tortoise Shells a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 31,636 Tortoise Shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grecklea has designated Tonlea as its capital city, The Order of the Sacred Tortoise has been named as Grecklea's national religion, Tonda Karakalua has just been declared ruler of Grecklea in an international press conference, and leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grecklea's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of the Sacred Tortoise.

Grecklea is ranked 141,673rd in the world and 6th in Grecklandia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,079.32 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
