The Imperial Realm of Graynard and Taterau is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Empress Sophia II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.06 billion Grayerauians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haranava. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.0%.

The all-consuming Grayerauian economy, worth 100 trillion Raus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 94,444 Raus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 298,975 per year while the poor average 22,762, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, misbehaving Porcupines deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime is relatively low. Graynard and Taterau's national animal is the Porcupine and its national religion is Grayerauian Trinitism.

Graynard and Taterau is ranked 82,573^rd in the world and 39^th in Crimson Spire for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,046.03 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
