The Constitutional Monarchy of Grayrock is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 530 million Grayrockians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockcity. The average income tax rate is 25.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Grayrockian economy, worth 36.8 trillion kronoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,428 kronoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and new pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grayrock's national animal is the stone, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grayrock is ranked 37,397^th in the world and 7^th in Lesbian for Most Cultured, scoring 76 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
