The Supremely Utopian Empire of Gravlen is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lord Gravlen the First with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 40.8 billion Gravlenians 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 tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravlen MegaCity One. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Gravlenian economy, worth an astonishing 15,078 trillion Gravels a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 369,580 Gravels, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,227,468 per year while the poor average 27,580, a ratio of 80.8 to 1.
Atheists are heavily taxed, tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and turning eighteen is often referred to as the 'Age of Aquarius'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gravlen's national animal is the furious penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is worship of the great Penguin.
Gravlen is ranked 2,733rd in the world and 1st in The Isles O Chocolate Coatings for Fattest Citizens, with 37.41 Obesity Rate.
