The Empire of Gravily is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 162 million Gravilyians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.2%.

The strong Gravilyian economy, worth 8.82 trillion baht a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,431 baht, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, insolent whistleblowers receive their just desserts on deserted isles, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gravily's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Gravily is ranked 130,965^th in the world and 2^nd in The Cobra for Most Patriotic, with 13.59 flags saluted per person per day.
