The Federation of Gragadoia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Bob with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.599 billion Gragadoians 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 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 63.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Gragadoian economy, worth 137 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, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 52,732 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, one of the nation's leading exports is empty platitudes, and "Bob got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom. 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, and its national religion is Universal artificialism.

Gragadoia is ranked 235,417^th in the world and 9,594^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 8.95 Obesity Rate.
