The Federal Defense Coalition of Grus Indus Pavo and Octans is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kharrman Ursii with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.006 billion Einheits have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Venacitum. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Unified economy, worth 104 trillion Constalas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,944 Constalas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", the government loves seeing the little people fight, Unified companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grus Indus Pavo and Octans's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grus Indus Pavo and Octans is ranked 265,638^th in the world and 754^th in Horizon for Fattest Citizens, with 6.85 Obesity Rate.
