The State of Granadillo is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 41.49 billion Granadilloans 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, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The powerhouse Granadilloan economy, worth a remarkable 2,238 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 53,945 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,761 per year while the poor average 2,898, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, Granadillo has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and Liard has just been declared ruler of Granadillo in an international press conference. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Granadillo's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Granadillo is ranked 308,188^th in the world and 1^st in Granadillo for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -4.47 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
