The Most Serene Republic of Grass Snake is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 6.839 billion Grass Snakeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Grass Snakean economy, worth 187 trillion Pennies 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 black market in Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 27,328 Pennies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Grass Snake's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Grass Snake is ranked 20,219^th in the world and 2^nd in Crapitalism for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.17 percentage of bribes refused.
