The Enclave of Gray Army is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Sturnn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.817 billion Gray Armyites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crassus. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Gray Armyian economy, worth an astonishing 10,848 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 231,720 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears, civil servants are often voluntold to work for free, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, and Emperor Sturnn's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gray Army's national animal is the Gorog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gray Army is ranked 6,144th in the world and 21st in Fifth Empire for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 513.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
