The Graypublic of GrayingOut is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by GrayingOut with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 9.208 billion GrayingOutians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Graytopia. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming GrayingOutian economy, worth 783 trillion Great Graying Grams a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,084 Great Graying Grams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", Amnesty Interregional has condemned GrayingOut for ignoring crimes against humanity, and schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GrayingOut's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Grayism.

GrayingOut is ranked 298,851^st in the world and 1^st in GrayingOut for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
