Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Federation of Gragadoia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bob with a fair hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.358 billion Gragadoians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuving. The average income tax rate is 61.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gragadoian economy, worth 73.3 trillion nougats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 54,005 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, the endangered saltwater humpback porpoise is only seen in captivity programs, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the comic book series 'Bob and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gragadoia's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gragadoia is ranked 41,703^rd in the world and 2,509^th in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.93 percentage of bribes refused.
