The Never-ending Nightmare of Grave_n_idle is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Big Brother with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 30.908 billion Graven Idols are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Graveyard. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Grave_n_idlean economy, worth a remarkable 7,213 trillion Eternal Souls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 233,374 Eternal Souls, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, an alabaster statue of an ancient cat-deity takes pride of place in the centre of The Graveyard, and panic-stricken royals insist a stray ball in their garden is an emergency. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grave_n_idle's national animal is the Unspeakable Eldritch Horror, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.
Grave_n_idle is ranked 254,551st in the world and 6,818th in Balder for Least Corrupt Governments, with 18.82 percentage of bribes refused.
