The Unified Republic of Grenzinia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Leo Cassian Jackson with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.038 billion Grenzinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casington. The average income tax rate is 87.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grenzinian economy, worth 947 trillion Greniums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 187,998 Greniums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Grenzinian cooking is to die for, decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grenzinia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Polytheism.

Grenzinia is ranked 248,228^th in the world and 33^rd in New United Kingdom of Albion for Nicest Citizens, with 7.52 average smiles per day.
