The Federation of Grocologia is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its digital currency, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 261 million Grocologians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Grocologian economy, worth 8.86 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 33,937 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists on maritime expeditions return with a healthy glow, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grocologia's national animal is the Chimp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grocologia is ranked 135,257^th in the world and 197^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 56.89 on the Human Development Index.
