Overview

The Fortress State of GruntsandElites is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.149 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture.

Nursing mothers are often arrested for indecent exposure, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, popular political cartoonists are thrown in jail for inciting dissent, and owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. GruntsandElites's national animal is the grunt, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the capitaliono.
