The Catholic-Orthodox Duchy of Sierra Grand is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Sovereign Sara May with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.972 billion Sierre are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Elisabeth. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sierrese economy, worth a remarkable 1,118 trillion Æ₡ Freedom World Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,280 Æ₡ Freedom World Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royalist is the most offensive slur in the Sierrese language, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and opening a bad email attachment can be a major felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sierra Grand's national animal is the Bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sierra Grand is ranked 4,864th in the world and 1st in Kelra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
