The Grand Duchy of Graafheuvel is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Duchess Marlies Groenewoudt with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.219 billion Graafvolkers are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nanlon. The average income tax rate is 30.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Graafvolker economy, worth 90.9 trillion Diamanten marks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,543 Diamanten marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has enacted freedom of information, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Diamanten mark charge on their phone bill, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graafheuvel's national animal is the Noordelijke Yulitz, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Reformed Boreas Worship.

Graafheuvel is ranked 261,973^rd in the world and 16^th in Isle Of Wooloo Kingdom for Most Primitive, scoring -138.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
