The Holy Empire of Gracie beansss is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and compulsory military service.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,796 beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gracie beansss's national animal is the Luna, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
