The Confederacy of Grogia is a tiny, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 7 million Grogians, 6 million of whom are zombies, love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Grogian economy, worth 297 billion Grogian Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,438 Grogian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, nudity is frowned upon, punitive tariffs protect local industry, and the nation is completely gun-free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grogia's national animal is the Chamois, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grogia is ranked 196,157^th in the world and 181^st in Aesica for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,709.31 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
