The Ravanian Sword of Justice of Saint-Gregor is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Saint-Gregor with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 3.123 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Gregor-in-the-fields. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, all-natural foods are becoming a major fad, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Justice of Saint-Gregor's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Circle of the Raven, and its currency is the Talent.

Justice of Saint-Gregor is ranked 6th in Castle On The Hill and 21,941st in the world for Most Influential, scoring 23 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
