The Republic of Gran Amerika is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The cynical, devout population of 8 million Gran Amerikans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Gran Amerikan economy, worth 297 billion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,182 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sweat stains are proof of political acumen, lines of trenches demarcate the nation's borders, the drive to dismantle public transport has crashed and burned, and the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gran Amerika's national animal is the Dire Wolf.

Gran Amerika is ranked 136,223^rd in the world and 56^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 489.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
