The Anti-Shari'a Sultanate of North Grenham is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.84 billion North Grenhamians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The strong North Grenhamian economy, worth 339 trillion Grenham pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 70,189 Grenham pounds, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is relatively low. North Grenham's national animal is the Grenham eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

North Grenham is ranked 173,733^rd in the world and 7^th in Trinity Legion for Largest Black Market, with 783 billion Standard Monetary Units.
