The United Avian Provinces of Grenaria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Chairbirdson with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.951 billion Grenarians 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 Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grand Roost. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Grenarian economy, worth 159 trillion Greenish Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,370 Greenish Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and the nation has chosen not to live in interesting times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grenaria's national animal is the Flaming Kiwi and its national religion is Orthodox Birdism.

Grenaria is ranked 33,010^th in the world and 1,602^nd in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 53.87 quips per hour.
