The Federation of Gragadoia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.363 billion Gragadoians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuving. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gragadoian economy, worth 287 trillion nougats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 53,572 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and military pistols are more secure than the national treasury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gragadoia's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Universal artificialism.

Gragadoia is ranked 277,295^th in the world and 6,033^rd in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.59 flags saluted per person per day.
