The Commonwealth of Grachevia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 728 million Grachevians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vitastria. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Grachevian economy, worth 37.3 trillion Kelvins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,259 Kelvins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, Inagua Woodstar is one of the most popular forenames in Grachevia, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grachevia's national animal is the Inagua Woodstar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grachevia is ranked 37,397^th in the world and 131^st in Conch Kingdom for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 69.5 Effective Tax Rate.
