The Constitutional Monarchy of Grayrock is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 722 million Grayrockians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockcity. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Grayrockian economy, worth 48.0 trillion kronoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,540 kronoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, parents who reward their teens' chores with concert tickets are charged with illegal reselling, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grayrock's national animal is the stone, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grayrock is ranked 33,799^th in the world and 13^th in Lesbian for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,173.38 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
