The Fiefdom of Grave Tasks is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.449 billion Gravediggers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.5%.

The Grave Tasksian economy, worth 97.1 trillion tombstones and coffins and shovels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,991 tombstones and coffins and shovels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 244,015 per year while the poor average 13,072, a ratio of 18.7 to 1.

The judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party, the studies of art and philosophy are banned, citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, and only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grave Tasks's national animal is the skeleton bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Grave Tasks is ranked 241,115^th in the world and 4,356^th in Artificial Solar System for Safest, scoring 17.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
