The Principality of Gracca is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avant-garde cinema, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 692 million Graccans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. The average income tax rate is 50.0%.

The powerhouse Graccan economy, worth 67.4 trillion G-Bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 97,350 G-Bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gracca's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Gracca is ranked 71,170^th in the world and 1,900^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 37.53 quips per hour.
