THE GRAND REPUBLIC (TGR) is a collection of metropolitan city states sworn to bring all cities under its glorious banner of LOVE OPENNESS AND PROSPERITY. ALLL WHO OPPOSE OUR RIGHTEOUS RULE SHALL BE ENSLAVED !!! those who are made slaves of the state are citizens under the protective watch of THE GOD KING! ONLY HE CAN AND EVER SHALL OWN ANY NUMBER OF OUR OWN KIND!
THe TGR is broken into 4 estates: the British islse, Mehico, Oversease territories and Africa.
Elgalnd is made of six parts, the english lowlands the scotish highlands the rocky hills of wales the rolling hills of ireland and the metropolitin areas of london manchester liverpool and glasgow as well as various islands of the british isls. This area is largely an archipeligo with many rivers and airidable land except wales. The weather tends to be a constant down poor of rain giveing the island inhabitants only a week of sun every year.
The geography of these territories vary from gibralter to the british antartic territory. Most of them are tropical islands that are prone to huricanes and typons in the spring while being an island paridise for the reaset of the year.
Mehico is a rather large part of the country contributing more that half of the nations land. most of it however is dessert in the north and protected jungle in the south. The many rivers that run through the country help many of the people to export rare goods like tequila found in the desert sand out of the relitivly baren north to the beautiful cost line.
Economics
The economic system is capitalist with socialist policies implemented by our lord and savior for the betterment of his children. A large sum of the country's GDP comes from banking. This industry has prospered for decades because of the "Hans & David law" which allows banks to import Jews and Germans for clerical work without having to first register them with TGR Enslavement Department. In return for the GODKING's generosity to do so, Banks invest in an individual's education. They pay for one's private education and in return, the individual repays with interest or by grand deeds.
GDP of the great nation is 3.992 trillion USD
GDP per Capita is 21,422.21
2% of GDP spend on Military
Military
THERE IS NO ARMY FOR EVEY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD SHALL LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR GLORY OF THE REPUBLIC. All WOMEN of cities are enlisted at the age of 5 and made to work ships independently by the age of twelve. BAM NAVY! ALL MEN of cities are enlisted at the age of 5 and made to maintain aircraft and conduct ground control until the age of twelve at which a select few will be made to operate aircraft in honorable combat.

THE STATE RELIGION IS SCIENCE!!! though math we discover the world the GOD KING MADE! THough CHEM we discover how HE MADE IT! Though STATISTICS WE LEARN HOW HE CONTROL'S IT!
HAIL HAIL HAIL TO THE GRAND REPUBLIC
Selected on 24/10 by Yiczy
Reason: Some bitch wanted GB. I wanted Russia all for myself, O well.
THE GRAND REPUBLIC (TGR) is a collection of metropolitan city states sworn to bring all cities under its glorious banner of LOVE OPENNESS AND PROSPERITY. ALLL WHO OPPOSE OUR RIGHTEOUS RULE SHALL BE ENSLAVED !!! those who are made slaves of the state are citizens under the protective watch of THE GOD KING! ONLY HE CAN AND EVER SHALL OWN ANY NUMBER OF OUR OWN KIND!
THe TGR is broken into 4 estates: the British islse, Mehico, Oversease territories and Africa.
The geography of these territories vary from gibralter to the british antartic territory. Most of them are tropical islands that are prone to huricanes and typons in the spring while being an island paridise for the reaset of the year.
Economics
The economic system is capitalist with socialist policies implemented by our lord and savior for the betterment of his children. A large sum of the country's GDP comes from banking. This industry has prospered for decades because of the "Hans & David law" which allows banks to import Jews and Germans for clerical work without having to first register them with TGR Enslavement Department. In return for the GODKING's generosity to do so, Banks invest in an individual's education. They pay for one's private education and in return, the individual repays with interest or by grand deeds.
GDP of the great nation is 3.992 trillion USD
GDP per Capita is 21,422.21
2% of GDP spend on Military
Military
THERE IS NO ARMY FOR EVEY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD SHALL LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR GLORY OF THE REPUBLIC. All WOMEN of cities are enlisted at the age of 5 and made to work ships independently by the age of twelve. BAM NAVY! ALL MEN of cities are enlisted at the age of 5 and made to maintain aircraft and conduct ground control until the age of twelve at which a select few will be made to operate aircraft in honorable combat. BAM AIRFORCE!
ALL SLAVES OF THE STATE SERVE AS THE BACKBONE OF THE REPUBLIC'S MILITARY PROVIDING LOGISTICAL SUPPORT. BAM BUREAUCRACY ! 270,000 ACctive Personel
