The Principality of Grysden is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its flagrant waste-dumping and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.056 billion Grysdenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Law & Order, Education, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gryffonia. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The strong Grysdenian economy, worth 72.8 trillion roples a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 68,929 roples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Political gridlock ensues as even the most innocuous legislation is vetoed by the Supreme Court for potential civil rights violations, a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Gryffonia. Crime is relatively low. Grysden's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grysden is ranked 243,821^st in the world and 379^th in Starlight for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 831.51 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
