The Kingdom of Gravalley is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 7 million Gravalleyians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.
The Gravalleyian economy, worth 352 billion Shovels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 50,351 Shovels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and in-cite-ment never happens at tea parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gravalley's national animal is the scavenger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Gravalley is ranked 330,746th in the world and 218th in Karma for Largest Black Market, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
