The Republic of Gren-1 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 10.418 billion Gren-1ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Gren-1ian economy, worth 349 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,550 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Former televangelists are often seen begging skateboarders for donations, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and the path to inner peace is paved with state-mandated punishment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gren-1's national animal is the leopard.

Gren-1 is ranked 246,673^rd in the world and 1^st in Grenoble for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 28.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
