The State of The Grounds Keeper is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 19.96 billion Grounds Keeperians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Grounds Keeperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,019 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 51,060 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 296,526 per year while the poor average 4,166, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

Councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, one of the most popular models in The Grounds Keeper has a scarred face and one working eye, and any reference to a higher being is punished with public shaming. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. The Grounds Keeper's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Grounds Keeper is ranked 329,846^th in the world and 1^st in Cemetery for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring -6.32 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
