The Holy Yellow Veins of Grennick Gold is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Aurelius M Dior with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, strictly enforced bedtime, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.228 billion Grengoldians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argonaut Mine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Grengoldian economy, worth a remarkable 3,528 trillion Gold Standards a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 231,705 Gold Standards, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,104,592 per year while the poor average 28,562, a ratio of 38.7 to 1.
This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, old folks yearn for the days when young people saw bloodthirsty death matches with their own eyes instead of through a screen, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Grennick Gold's national animal is the Golden Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Grennick Gold is ranked 132,796th in the world and 111th in Lands End for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
