The Fabulous Kingdom of Graalstone is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by HM King Mastino VII with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, strictly enforced bedtime, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 25.18 billion Graalstoneans 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Graalborg. The average income tax rate is 92.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Graalstonean economy, worth a remarkable 3,033 trillion Liraes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,477 Liraes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest political memes depict HM King Mastino VII as an overly-choreographed robot, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, the nation's smallest mastiffball teams trade draft picks for a free lunch, and the Graalstonean population often struggles to think straight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graalstone's national animal is the mastiff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Graalstone is ranked 15,759^th in the world and 5^th in Mediterranean for Nicest Citizens, with 24.76 average smiles per day.
