The Democratic Republic of Grananthaia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Redlow with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 13.489 billion Grananthaians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grananthaia City. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Grananthaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,656 trillion Relics a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,827 Relics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kissing cousins produce the heartiest babies, the 'three Rs' have become the 'four Rs' with the addition of Rightful Thought, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grananthaia's national animal is the Flying Fox, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grananthaia is ranked 6,841^st in the world and 24^th in Canada for Safest, scoring 126.37 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
