HIV/AIDS ADULT PREVALENCE: 0.05%
Although the State UNAIDS Offices in Flurthwel have established several HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment programmes as requested by #84, 'NS HIV AIDS Act (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=83)', Gruenberg has never had a significant HIV/AIDS problem, and as such these initiatives are given fairly low priority and little funding. Gruenberg is not entitled to funding from UN Resolution #32, 'Global AIDS Initiative (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=31)'.
BASIC ACCESS:
To water: 92% (6)
To sanitation: 58% (7)
Gruenberg has done its best with limited resources to extend access to water and sanitation in the hope of complying with the aims of UN Resolution #9, 'Keep The World Disease-Free! (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=8)'. However, the difficulties of establishing an extensive sanitation network have been exacerbated by Gruenberg's terrain and problems with flooding, seismic activity and cyclone damage. Similarly, Gruenberg has invested in UNWCC water-improvement initiatives, but even these have not been sufficient to ensure a regular, adequate supply of clean water to remote settlements.
AVAILABILITY OF HEALTHCARE:
Physicians: 0.38 per '000 head
Hospital beds: 0.47 per '000 head
HEALTH EXPENDITURE:
Per head: US $436.8 (8)
% of GDP: 3.9
Public: 29.8% (9)
MAJOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES:
Food or waterborne diseases: Bacterial diarrhoea; Hepatitis A and E; Typhoid fever.
Vectorborne diseases: Dengue fever; Malaria. (10)
Water contact diseases: Ampirspirosis. (11)
It should be noted that in accordance with UN Resolution #9, 'Keep The World Disease-Free! (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=8)', vaccinations against many of these diseases, including malaria and typhoid fever, are available to the general public of Gruenberg. However, such vaccinations are voluntary, and many have refused the injections, thus leading to the unfortunate continued prevalence of several potentially fatal diseases. Foreign visitors must not assume that they will be safe from the risk of infection, and are strongly advised to procure inoculations before making their trip.
ADULT LITERACY RATE:
Males: 56.2%
Females: 30.2%
TOTAL: 43.4%
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX: 0.58 (12)
ETHNIC GROUPS: Gruenberg has no major ethnic divisions, and it is important to note that Gelziens who seek autonomy do so for national and cultural, not ethnic, reasons. Differences between tribes have always been slight, and have all but disappeared.
LANGUAGES: Rukialkotta is the state language of Gruenberg and is being taken up rapidly by the population at the expense of more traditional tribal languages. Bazhtan is the holy language of the Wenaist religion, but may only be spoken by a very select minority. Figures here apply only to the first language of respondents:
Rukialkotta: 62.4%
Salsaffron: 8.9%
Malhiati: 6.2%
Deshpatt: 5.3%
All other: 17%
RELIGION: Wenaism is the state religion of Gruenberg, and over 99% of Gruenbergers are Wenaists. A few thousand citizens are registered as atheists, Christians or otherwise, mainly in the Gelzien Nub.
GEOGRAPHY
AREA: 1,027,824
POPULATION DENSITY: 251.0 per sq km
INLAND WATER AREA: 35,310 sq km
MARITIME CLAIMS: In accordance with UN Resolution #74, 'The Law of the Sea (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Law_of_the_Sea)', Gruenberg has claimed as national territorial waters all seas within 20km of its coasts, both in the Bay of Abzhan-Rejak and the Bay of Solitude. Gruenberg had previously claimed significant further maritime territory in proximity to scientific research stations, but relinquished these claims after The Battle of the Thermometers.
REGION: Malibu Islands
BORDERS: Gruenberg has a total of 10,120km of land boundary, including borders with Kinessra and Periusistan.
COASTLINE: 1,626km
CLIMATE AND TERRAIN: Gruenberg has a varied topography, from the mountainous northern areas of Naffarron, to the flat alluvial plains of the Gelzien Nub. Its climate is generally hot, with most of Naffarron relatively arid - in stark contrast to the Gelzien Nub, which is prone to seasonal monsoons.

FOOTNOTES
1. Including adjustment of net underenumeration, estimated to have been 3.2%.
2. Of which: males 130,677,806, females 125,984,623.
3. Registered live births only. The practice in remote rural communities of killing or abandoning unwanted female children means that these figures are unreliable.
4. Ratio of registration of under-5 deaths to registration of births over same period.
5. Figures assume a 0% mortality rate for women of child-bearing age.
6. The availability of at least 20 litres of water per person per day from a source within 1 km from the user's dwelling, including domestic connection, public standpipes, boreholes with handpumps, protected dug wells, and protected spring and rainwater collection.
7. The availability of access to sanitation at a source within 1 km from the user's dwelling, including connection to a sewer or septic tank system, pour-flush latrine, simple pit latrine, and ventilated improved pit latrine.
8. Standardised estimate derived by dividing the value of the Opst by an estimate of its purchasing-power parity (PPP) compared to international currency units.
9. State health-related outlays plus expenditure by social schemes compulsorily affiliated with at least 40% of the population, and extrabudgetary funds allocated to health services. Figures also include grants or loans provided by international agencies, other national authorities, and commercial banks.
10. Risk of infection is dependent on location.
11. Lethal, water-borne virus found in the Chaubhan river in the Gelzien Nub.
12. The HDI is a summary of human development measured by three basic dimensions: life expectancy, knowledge (weighted in a 2:1 ration between adult literacy rate and universal enrolment in all levels of education) and a PPP assessment of GDP per capita. The index range runs from 0 to 1: a value above 0.8 indicates high development, whereas a value below 0.5 indicates low development.
13. Percentage contribution to GDP at factor cost.
14. Percentage composition of total labour force (persons aged 10 years and over; excluding armed forces).
15. Plus considerable under-employment.
16. Gini index figure. This measures income equality: the more unequally distributed family incomes, the higher the number. 20-25 indicates high income equality; 45-50 indicates high income inequality.
17. Including private sector deposits at the Bank of Gruenberg.
18. Valued at 70.28 Opst per troy ounce, but subject to annual revaluation according to Flurthwel market prices.
19. Calculated on an exchange-rate basis. Difference between inflow and repayments. Loans from private organizations excluded; formal aid commitments included.

FOOTNOTES
1. Including adjustment of net underenumeration, estimated to have been 3.2%.
2. Of which: males 130,677,806, females 125,984,623.
3. Registered live births only. The practice in remote rural communities of killing or abandoning unwanted female children means that these figures are unreliable.
4. Ratio of registration of under-5 deaths to registration of births over same period.
5. Figures assume a 0% mortality rate for women of child-bearing age.
6. The availability of at least 20 litres of water per person per day from a source within 1 km from the user's dwelling, including domestic connection, public standpipes, boreholes with handpumps, protected dug wells, and protected spring and rainwater collection.
7. The availability of access to sanitation at a source within 1 km from the user's dwelling, including connection to a sewer or septic tank system, pour-flush latrine, simple pit latrine, and ventilated improved pit latrine.
8. Standardised estimate derived by dividing the value of the Opst by an estimate of its purchasing-power parity (PPP) compared to international currency units.
9. State health-related outlays plus expenditure by social schemes compulsorily affiliated with at least 40% of the population, and extrabudgetary funds allocated to health services. Figures also include grants or loans provided by international agencies, other national authorities, and commercial banks.
10. Risk of infection is dependent on location.
11. Lethal, water-borne virus found in the Chaubhan river in the Gelzien Nub.
12. The HDI is a summary of human development measured by three basic dimensions: life expectancy, knowledge (weighted in a 2:1 ration between adult literacy rate and universal enrolment in all levels of education) and a PPP assessment of GDP per capita. The index range runs from 0 to 1: a value above 0.8 indicates high development, whereas a value below 0.5 indicates low development.
13. Percentage contribution to GDP at factor cost.
14. Percentage composition of total labour force (persons aged 10 years and over; excluding armed forces).
15. Plus considerable under-employment.
16. Gini index figure. This measures income equality: the more unequally distributed family incomes, the higher the number. 20-25 indicates high income equality; 45-50 indicates high income inequality.
17. Including private sector deposits at the Bank of Gruenberg.
18. Valued at 70.28 Opst per troy ounce, but subject to annual revaluation according to Flurthwel market prices.
