The Federation of Gragadoia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, lack of airports, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.324 billion Gragadoians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuving. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Gragadoian economy, worth 287 trillion nougats 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 53,985 nougats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and Bob is considering changing the nation's name to Blackacre. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very 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 7,294^th in the world and 373^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 125.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
