The Colony of Grandy is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.413 billion Grandyians 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, prioritizes Defense, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The strong Grandyian economy, worth 57.0 trillion aurums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 40,323 aurums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 261,397 per year while the poor average 2,487, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, surveillance cameras are banned, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Grandy's national animal is the bovina, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Grandy is ranked 178,045^th in the world and 1^st in Grand for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
