** According to Gregoryisgodistani propaganda, King Paulus XX of Saintland was assassinated by a Gregoryisgodistani death squad and replaced by his identical twin brother, [[NamesTheSame also named Paulus.]] A few months later, when King Paulus was KilledOffForReal, Gregoryisgodistan claimed that the "twin" was killed by the Sanctii military in a FalseFlagOperation to cover up the fact that Gregoryisgodistan had already killed his "brother." In reality, the actual King Paulus XX was killed by The Brotherhood, the same shadowy group that tried to kill Izmailov, [[BlatantLies he does not have a twin brother with the same name, and even if he did, said brother would not become King upon his death.]]

* AwesomeMcCoolname: A lot of the [[TheBrute Enemy Crushers]] have names reflecting their large size, including Enemy Crusher Biggy [=McParis=], for whom the TakingYouWithMe Option is named.

* {{Expy}}: Slaves Я Us. It even has the backwards R.

* SexSlave: Check. Some of them even compete (and occasionally win medals) at the Olympics.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Invoked many times, such as "We do not drug our gruel with mind control drugs. Anyone who says that is a liar." Often linked directly to the trope page.

* EtTuBrute: Whenever an athlete gets executed for poor performance and there is an executioner on the team, guess who does it? And when they fired the soccer coach over a cliff to his death for his poor performance, the cannon they used was borrowed from the circus by midfielder [[UnfortunateNames Guy Who Cleans Up Behind The Elephant at the Circus P0120AZNNAU]].

* UnfortunateNames: Most commoners, due to the format of names. Guy Who Cleans Up Behind The Elephant at the Circus [=P0120AZNNAU=], a midfielder for the soccer team, is one of the best examples.

* NotSoDifferent: The user behind Gregoryisgodistan has said he based the Slave Draft, where citizens are selected to serve as slaves to government VIP's, on the military draft and mandatory conscription, which he believes is the same thing in RealLife.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Anything about "Government [=VIPness.=]"

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The [[http://www.nationstates.net/nation=gregoryisgodistan/detail=factbook/id=144272 long list]] of capital crimes in Gregoryisgodistan, including the three in the trope name, assault, saying the word "coconut", farting, sneezing, treason, and about a hundred other things.

* TheBrute: Enemy Crushers are morbidly obese thugs, weighing at least 400 and often up to 850 pounds, who crush enemies in an effort to torture them and extract information, then often kill them anyway for fun.

* CassandraTruth: Gregoryisgodistani assassins really did kill Consul Piazza, but everyone outside Gregoryisgodistan believes it was done by Feministvs Sanctvsterra and that Lord Almighty Gregory's claims of responsibility are propaganda (see FalseFlagOperation below.)
** It doesn't help that Gregoryisgodistan has falsely claimed to assassinate several world leaders before as well as ridiculously inflating death totals from their solar-powered bombs by six to seven ''orders of magnitude''.

* DisproportionateRetribution: If you commit any of numerous capital crimes, including perfectly innocuous acts like sneezing or farting, you and your entire family will be executed.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The country itself, including many claims about Lord Almighty Gregory (such as him never pooping) is based on North Korea.

* ShoutOut: ''[[KidsSayTheDarndestThings Costa Lunians Say The Dardnest Things]]'' and ''[[TheRealHousewives Real Husbands of Saintland]]''

Gregoryisgodistan is a nation in the online nation simulator {{NationStates}}. Founded on June 22, 2013, it is ruled by a leader named Lord Almighty Gregory who proclaims himself to be an almighty deity and demands the public worship him. Gregoryisgodistan is widely known as one of the worst dictatorships in NationStates, with numerous capital crimes as well as many crazy laws and public executions on a daily basis. It even has HumanSacrifice to Lord Almighty Gregory as well as legalized slavery.

* ArchEnemy: Numerous, but the biggest ones are Saintland, San Jose Guayabal, and Roleplay/FreeRepublics (aka Holy Republican Empire.)

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The country itself, including many claims about Lord Almighty Gregory (such as him never pooping) is based on North Korea. Writing a story about how you shot your neighbor' pet dinosaur? [[http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/alex-stone-arrested-after-u-s-teen-wrote-about-shooting-pet-dinosaur-1.2756924 Someone was arrested for that too.]]
** Many of the crazy capital crimes are based on crimes elsewhere. For instance, chewing gum is illegal in Singapore, and riding an ugly horse is illegal in Wilbur, Washington, though neither of those are capital crimes in real life.

** Additionally, Gregoryisgodistan has criticized certain other nations for their homophobia, and gays and lesbians are treated well there. While you can only have sexual relations with someone of the same gender if they're your spouse, who is assigned by the government, the same is true of someone of the opposite sex. Go figure.

* {{Expy}}: Slaves R Us. It even has the backwards R.

* ArchEnemy: Numerous, but the biggest ones are Saintland and Roleplay/FreeRepublics (aka Holy Republican Empire.)

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Anything about "Government VIPness."

* RidiculousExchangeRates: The current exchange rate is about 15,000 greggygodbucks to one dollar, with the currency being consistently more and more devalued due to hyperinflation. This led to an incident where a football referee was given a one million greggygodbuck speeding ticket on the way to a game and died of a heart attack due to the shock at seeing the amount. At the time, 1 million greggygodbucks was only about 135 dollars, and now it's half that.

* NotSoDifferent: The user behind Gregoryisgodistan has said he based the Slave Draft, where citizens are selected to serve as slaves to government VIP's, on the military draft and mandatory conscription, which he OOC-ly believes is the same thing.
