The Federation of Gragadoia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.234 billion Gragadoians 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuving. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gragadoian economy, worth 297 trillion nougats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,795 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, Porpoise is one of the most popular forenames in Gragadoia, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gragadoia's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Universal artificialism.

Gragadoia is ranked 54,050^th in the world and 1,676^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
