The Kingdom of Gravestania is a large, genial nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 177 million Gravestanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gravestanian economy, worth 7.30 trillion Gravestanian Forints a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,217 Gravestanian Forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gravestania's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gravestania is ranked 297,977^th in the world and 1,522^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 15,539.1 Standard Monetary Units.
