The Republic of Grailquest is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lancelot with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism. Its compassionate population of 14.69 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grailquest City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government snoops on private internet connections, the government spends millions of Singapore dollars every year prosecuting spammers, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grailquest's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Singapore dollar.

Grailquest is ranked 5th in Singapore and 78,838th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 96 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
