The United Labrador Pointers of Gracierra is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the people with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.171 billion Gracies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tailwag. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Gracie economy, worth 938 trillion treats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 152,120 treats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, snitches get riches, Gracierra's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, and awkward tourists are offered the 'unique experience' of rodeo clown. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Gracierra's national animal is the labrador pointer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is unconditional love.

Gracierra is ranked 10,219^th in the world and 2^nd in Dexter for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,463.69 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
