The Empire of Grangale is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Julii zi Grangalia XIII with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.438 billion Grangaleans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Directia. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grangalean economy, worth a remarkable 4,182 trillion Denariis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,421 Denariis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Grangale, the ban on cars has been repealed, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, and death row is annually emptied to feed the nation's hunger for televised murder-games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grangale's national animal is the Chimaera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grangale is ranked 170,881^st in the world and 15^th in Mediterranean for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
