The Changeling Grovean economy, worth 1.11 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,337 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, Leader's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, citizens tint their front windows to avoid starring in the 'TV Detector Patrol Unit' documentary, and suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Changeling Grove's national animal is the Bactrian camel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
