The Principality of Gracca is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Tamati I with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.925 billion Graccans 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Randgriz. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Graccan economy, worth 784 trillion G-Bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,248 G-Bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens who fail to follow the official national religion are executed, even secular Graccans are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gracca's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Graccanism.

Gracca is ranked 20,848^th in the world and 590^th in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 114.45 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
