The Federal Republic of Grey Goods is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Mister Grey with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 765 million Grey Goodsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greytopia. The average income tax rate is 40.8%.

The very strong Grey Goodsian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Grey Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,346 Grey Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, reddish-brown is the new black, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and Mister Grey has just been declared ruler of Grey Goods in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grey Goods's national animal is the Grey Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Grey Goods is ranked 47,525^th in the world and 672^nd in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,578.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
