The Two Kingdoms of GraySoap is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Emil II with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 37.769 billion Grays 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 minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorsotten. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Gray economy, worth an astonishing 14,296 trillion Drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 378,525 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Claims adjusters are uselessly vague, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, and museums claim to have displayed famous artwork before it was cool. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. GraySoap's national animal is the Eastern Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

GraySoap is ranked 459^th in the world and 1^st in The Conservative Coalition for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 14,311.89 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
