The Republic of Grailquest is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lancelot with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 23.934 billion Grailquestians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grailquest City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Grailquestian economy, worth a remarkable 7,796 trillion Singapore dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Cheese Exports industry. Average income is an amazing 325,769 Singapore dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,888,559 per year while the poor average 26,688, a ratio of 70.8 to 1.

Citizens are less concerned with policy and more concerned with whether politicians "call 'em like they see 'em", equality looks curiously unequal, Lancelot's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grailquest's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grailquest is ranked 2^nd in the world and 1^st in Balder for Safest, scoring 393.61 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
