The Principled Commonwealth of Graysonova is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jompis Jartson with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.984 billion Sonovians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sonovia. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sonovian economy, worth 909 trillion Crumbs a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 182,404 Crumbs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graysonova's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Graysonova is ranked 6,671^st in the world and 352^nd in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 135 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
