The Dominion of Grace Sto Yaketopia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.825 billion Grace Sto Yaketopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Grace Sto Yaketopian economy, worth 758 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,295 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Grace Sto Yaketopia's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Grace Sto Yaketopia is ranked 179,972nd in the world and 2,784th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,337.8 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
