The Empire of Upper Grecktopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Arnen Tovvengren with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 26.689 billion Upper Grecktopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Industry, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Welfare and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tovvenstad. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The thriving Upper Grecktopian economy, worth 931 trillion pebbles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 34,893 pebbles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 109,595 per year while the poor average 8,506, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Citizens who leave the country are officially classed as traitors, all streets are privately owned toll roads, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and street gangs rule most of the nation's major cities. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Upper Grecktopia's national animal is the Tovvenian Salamander, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans, and its national religion is Grecklandianism.

Upper Grecktopia is ranked 113,679th in the world and 3rd in Grecklandia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,489.16 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
