The Colony of Greenpickles is a very large, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 317 million Greenpicklesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.3%.

The Greenpicklesian economy, worth 14.2 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,692 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, the past is set in stone, shoppers carry protractors to verify their produce, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greenpickles's national animal is the crocodile.

Greenpickles is ranked 171,304^th in the world and 139^th in Benigtopia for Rudest Citizens, with 47.17 insults per minute.
