The Republic of Greater Grovesia is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 7 million Greater Grovesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Greater Grovesian economy, worth 48.1 billion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 6,865 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Grovesia's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater Grovesia is ranked 314,778^th in the world and 119^th in Imperatus for Highest Average Incomes, with 6,865.74 Standard Monetary Units.
