The State of Grenadier Guards is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 46.021 billion Grenadier Guardsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 28.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Grenadier Guardsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,386 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,860 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government confiscates candy from babies for 'the greater good' of the nation, Grenadier Guards recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, and noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grenadier Guards's national animal is the deer.

Grenadier Guards is ranked 253,259^th in the world and 1^st in Grenadier Guards for Most Cultured, scoring 62 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
