The Green Kingdom of Greenbury is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.13 billion Greenburyians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Greenburyian economy, worth 208 trillion Peices a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,726 Peices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,170 per year while the poor average 26,200, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, and citizens queue to get the reinstated bank notes and coins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greenbury's national animal is the Cormarant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Greenbury is ranked 119,164th in the world and 210th in Forest for Safest, scoring 74.7 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
