The Dominion of Gran Sagrado is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, cynical population of 247 million Sagradans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The Gran Sagradoan economy, worth 12.7 trillion Evirias a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,546 Evirias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

All the playground's a stage for Gran Sagradoan schoolchildren, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gran Sagrado's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Gran Sagrado is ranked 200,978^th in the world and 3,552^nd in The East Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 40.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
