The Fabulous Kingdom of Graalstone is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by HM King Mastino VII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 20.147 billion Graalstoneans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Graalborg. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Graalstonean economy, worth a remarkable 2,403 trillion Liraes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,319 Liraes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, garden flower shows rarely smell of roses, and crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graalstone's national animal is the mastiff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Graalstone is ranked 5,284th in the world and 4th in Mediterranean for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,787.96 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
