The Imperial Realm of Graynard and Taterau is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Sophia II with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.067 billion Grayerauians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haranava. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The all-consuming Grayerauian economy, worth 100 trillion Raus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,435 Raus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 285,439 per year while the poor average 24,326, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, the dartboard at the Grayerauian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Empress Sophia II's face, and fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal. Crime is well under control. Graynard and Taterau's national animal is the Porcupine and its national religion is Grayerauian Trinitism.

Graynard and Taterau is ranked 213,503^rd in the world and 295^th in Crimson Spire for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
