The Blut der Erde of Griechischer Wein is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.592 billion Griechischer Weinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Griechischer Weinian economy, worth 852 trillion Blut der Erdes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,389 Blut der Erdes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, bike rage is all the rage, and the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Griechischer Wein's national animal is the Wein, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Griechischer Wein is ranked 26,065^th in the world and 193^rd in Stereo Hearts for Most Corrupt Governments, with 81.74 kickbacks per hour.
