The State of Grytviken Larsen is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 27.331 billion Grytviken Larsenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.7%.

The thriving Grytviken Larsenian economy, worth 648 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,737 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 72,512 per year while the poor average 6,022, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and Grytviken Larsen has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Grytviken Larsen's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Grytviken Larsen is ranked 270,801^st in the world and 636^th in 0000 for Safest, scoring 9.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
