The Oppressed Peoples of Grave Raven is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tamika the Death Knight with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.58 billion power liches are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Environment and Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terminus. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient officially-undead economy, worth a remarkable 2,626 trillion spider plants a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 346,518 spider plants, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,692,123 per year while the poor average 40,800, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.
The military has had to quell a recent insurrection by uninsured revolutionaries, the officially-undead Tourism Bureau has described the abolition of coastal defences as a "kick to the groyne", all recreational drugs are legal, and fearful citizens watch their every move as does their government. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Grave Raven's national animal is the vampire bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Grave Raven is ranked 237,954th in the world and 60th in Nudist Dreamland for Most Pacifist, with 1.79 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
