The Republic of Grand Funk Railroad is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and deadly medical pandemics. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.324 billion Grand Funk Railroadians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Grand Funk Railroadian economy, worth 105 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,446 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 364,038 per year while the poor average 10,540, a ratio of 34.5 to 1.

Confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", those awarding peace prizes to Grand Funk Railroadians find themselves in pieces, corporations feel proud all year round, and Grand Funk Railroadian schoolgirl uniforms have become alarmingly popular outside Grand Funk Railroad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Funk Railroad's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grand Funk Railroad is ranked 216,144^th in the world and 128^th in Declansburg for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
