The Colony of Greenpickles is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 240 million Greenpicklesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.7%.

The Greenpicklesian economy, worth 10.6 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,110 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, the past is set in stone, and shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greenpickles's national animal is the crocodile.

Greenpickles is ranked 96,775^th in the world and 83^rd in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
