The Republic of Costa Gravan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Estrebillo with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 7.638 billion Costa Gravans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tesoro Ciudad. The average income tax rate is 19.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Costa Gravanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,600 trillion Pesetas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 209,573 Pesetas, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
The most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up', government bureaucrats spend six hours per day justifying a six-hour workday, preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, and destitute athletes are forced to train in the street. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Costa Gravan's national animal is the Lazuli Bunting, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Costa Gravan is ranked 6,241st in the world and 1st in Mediterranean for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 508.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
