The Kingdom of Graylands is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 289 million Graylandsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Graylandsian economy, worth 5.78 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,992 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Big Belly is watching you, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, and welfare funding has recently gone through the roof. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graylands's national animal is the Gray Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Graylands is ranked 102,226th in the world and 19th in The United Mapgame Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
