The Last Great Kingdom of Gran Howitzer is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by John L Howitzer II with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.689 billion Howitzerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Howitzer. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gran Howitzerian economy, worth 315 trillion Stelantis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 117,168 Stelantis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, when it comes to smarts John L Howitzer II isn't the brightest gem in the collection, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gran Howitzer's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alt Christianity.

Gran Howitzer is ranked 118,417^th in the world and 68^th in Estalcia for Safest, scoring 76.16 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
