The Sacred Dominion of The Grail Kings is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 27.669 billion Knights 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 large, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Welfare, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Education receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.7%.

The strong Grail Kingsian economy, worth 641 trillion topaz rings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 23,171 topaz rings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 70,543 per year while the poor average 5,908, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

The government's only official statement on the burning down of The Grail Kings City was that 'they shouldn't have been so careless', major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Grail Kings's national animal is the Black Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Grail Kings is ranked 79,716^th in the world and 16^th in Mercenary Lands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 20.82 kickbacks per hour.
