The Republic of Graves is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nosferatu with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.028 billion Graves enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amed. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.8%.

The all-consuming Gravesian economy, worth 519 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,985 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, politicians' financial records are locked up tighter than the nation's Dollar reserves, sushi just hasn't been the same since salmon went extinct overnight, and restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Graves. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Graves's national animal is the Aquila, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Graves is ranked 96,728^th in the world and 251^st in Talonia for Highest Average Incomes, with 73,985.08 Standard Monetary Units.
