AVINADA

To our West is the land occupied by the Avinadians. We have had lots of fun with these folks. Avinada came into existence when Frankie's fans had the audacity to vie for a 'first place' at the voting booth. This strange incident started the "Great Voting War of '99". We Greylander's were determined to have Michael Greyeyes in first place, and the Avinadians were just as determined to place their man firmly at the head of the polls! In order to have something 'tangible' to fight, we created 'Avinada', land of Pizza and Tamales ( Frankie's fave food!), and populated it with the dreaded 'Avinadians'!!

The battle was particularly bloody and violent (you can read about it in our historical chronicles) but ended with a Greyland victory! We were all horrified though, to discover that the Hi-Greylander had forged a lasting peace with the Hi-Avinadian, and proclaimed an alliance with our hitherto mortal enemies!

Now, however, there is a booming trade between our two countries, (They send us pizza to relieve the boredom of endless cucumber sandwiches, and we send them frybread ...and as it's made by Sonja they put it to good use to pave all the roads!) and a free flow of citizens visiting back and forth. We do get the occasional spy in our midst but as they report to both the Greylanders and Avinadians that  pretty much keeps us even!
 

SCHWEIGERONIA

To our east, across the Great Divide (the mountainous regions on the east of Hero Province) and on the other side of the great Mount Greymore, are our eastern neighbours, the Schweigeronians. This is home to the BABES (Bodacious Admirers of Beautiful Eric Schweig). They keep pretty much to themselves and are very little trouble, which is probably due to the
courageous diplomatic efforts of our Ambassador to Schweigeronia, Gin (whether she wants the post of not!!).

ARCANDIA

Land of Nathaniel Arcand fans. Up until a recent 'Tall Tale' this land, far to the north, was a winter-locked frozen country, which hardly ever saw the sun, and where the ice and snow never melted.

A few Greylanders have a particular 'fondness' for Arcandia, and it was when our Minister of Finance temporarily lost her head, hi-jacked the Goochmobile, kidnapped some unfortunate Greylanders, and headed up to Arcandia to seek an audience with the Hi-Arcandian, that another 'international incident' was caused. It worked out great for the Arcandians though, as the rescue attempt resulted in our resident "Minister of Health and all things 'Witchy'", casting a spell over the land, which dispersed the perpetual cloud cover and melted the snow, bringing the hitherto 'indoors' folk of Arcandia out to see the sun for the first time. They were pretty
thrilled believe me, especially when someone remembered they had a portable BBQ in their basement, and brought it out to show other Arcandians that it is actually possible to cook and enjoy a meal outdoors. So despite the seriousness of the 'Incident', we now have great relations with the country of Arcandia!
 

STUDONIA

Off the South Western coast of Greyland, nestled in the Sea of Wishful Thinking, is the island of Studonia. Although Wes Studi's fans are a gentle island folk, they stubbornly and proudly vote regularly (often managing to put their man on the top of the polls). Relations between Greyland and Studonia are dignified (like the man himself!!!) and friendly. (That is, when we aren't trying to beat them at the polls!!!)

GREENELAND

Who doesn't love Graham Greene?!! We like having Greeneland nestled up north between Arcandia and Schweigeronia. Apparently, his good friend Tom Jackson visits there often, and one of our foremost  citizens (and renowned Tom Jackson groupie) never misses said visits - wearing her 'I'm a North of 60 nut' T-shirt she zooms on up to Greeneland, camera loaded and ready .......and lips glossed. 
Overall, we have a pretty good relationship with the Greenelanders.

GAUDREAULTIA

Bordering us to the north, between Arcandia and Schweigeronia, is Gaudreaultia. Home of the Peter Kelly Gaudreault fans. This country has a fine police force, similar in many ways to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and whenever there are riots, matters of International security, or out-of-control Cake fights at home or abroad, the Gaudreaultians are usually
called in. Greyland is particularly 'buddy-buddy' with Gaudreaultia, since the Hi-Greylander and the Hi-Gaudreaultian were once 'roomies'.
