The Republic of Grass clippings is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Flora with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, state-planned economy, and anti-smoking policies. The democratic population of 1.82 billion Grass clippingsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Orchid city. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Grass clippingsian economy, worth 128 trillion grass clippings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,790 grass clippings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Grass clippingsian surveillance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grass clippings's national animal is the orchid mantis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Grass sniffing.

Grass clippings is ranked 44,550^th in the world and 1^st in 2526 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,139.25 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
