The United Labrador Pointers of Gracierra is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.229 billion Gracies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tailwag. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gracie economy, worth 952 trillion treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,927 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mosh pits are a common phenomenon in the people's political rallies, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees her shadow, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gracierra's national animal is the labrador pointer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unconditional love.

Gracierra is ranked 169,609^th in the world and 2^nd in Dexter for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,050.05 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
