The Queendom of IGrape is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 1.412 billion IGrapeans 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish IGrapean economy, worth 22.2 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 15,702 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The religious lobby has the power of veto over health initiatives, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens, and the standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IGrape's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
IGrape is ranked 176,942nd in the world and 4th in Retrocomputers for Largest Governments, scoring 10.58 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
