The Principality of Gracca is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Archduchess Sylvaria Zi Randgriz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.005 billion 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Graccan economy, worth a remarkable 1,874 trillion G-Bills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 187,337 G-Bills, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 618,399 per year while the poor average 42,459, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Graccans, space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Gracca, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. 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 soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Graccanism.

Gracca is ranked 70,588^th in the world and 885^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,459.1 Standard Monetary Units.
