The Republic of Gr0udon is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The democratic population of 13.215 billion Gr0udonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Gr0udonian economy, worth 404 trillion pokecoins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,626 pokecoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, organ donation is compulsory, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Gr0udon's national animal is the Groudon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gr0udon is ranked 123,169^th in the world and 140^th in Nikosian dead zone for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
