The Federalized Zones of Grego is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Gregoai with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, conspicuous electricity pylons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.748 billion Gregoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grego City. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gregoan economy, worth 689 trillion Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,127 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grego's national animal is the Grego fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shaneism.

Grego is ranked 28,108^th in the world and 279^th in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 145,127.82 Standard Monetary Units.
