The Federation of Gragadoia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 6.815 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, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuving. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Gragadoian economy, worth 468 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 68,724 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A policy of plausible deniability helps protect the government from athletic doping scandals, cars are banned, the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", and people regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 244,396^th in the world and 2,335^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 168 billion Standard Monetary Units.
