The SpongeChocolateEatingBowlers of Greengarden Lanes is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lou Tullio with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 41.283 billion Erieites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Social Policy, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erie. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The strong Greengarden Lanesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,005 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 48,572 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 148,041 per year while the poor average 12,364, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, Pater Maxxmas is said to deliver self-judgment rather than silver jewellery, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and towns that stop turning a profit are turned into animal sanctuaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Greengarden Lanes's national animal is the peninsula turkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bokononism.

Greengarden Lanes is ranked 27,202^nd in the world and 2^nd in Pennsylvania for Highest Food Quality, scoring 82.01 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
