The Democratic Republic of Gragastavia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Farouk Al-Hussein with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 34.421 billion Gragastavians 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Al-Duhaba. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gragastavian economy, worth a remarkable 9,346 trillion Gragastavian Riyals a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 271,528 Gragastavian Riyals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people are furious with the government for allowing citizens to be executed for petty crimes in foreign countries, shops were recently ransacked as cigarettes returned to the shelves, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Gragastavia, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gragastavia's national animal is the Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Polatilianism.

Gragastavia is ranked 7,303rd in the world and 5th in Teremara for Most Stationary, with 2,733.36952147572 days.
