The Holy Empire of Gradis Merricus is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 133 million Gradis Merricusians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.5%.

The all-consuming Gradis Merricusian economy, worth 11.6 trillion Quans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 87,509 Quans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,380 per year while the poor average 16,060, a ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gradis Merricus's national animal is the Water Buffalo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gradis Merricus is ranked 25,930th in the world and 543rd in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 331,380 Standard Monetary Units.
