The Holy Empire of The Holy Grape is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 505 million Holy Grapeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bunker 12. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.7%.

The all-consuming Holy Grapean economy, worth 50.9 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,864 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can freely debate whether Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, hunters often become the hunted, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, and The Holy Grape's Medieval Faire is renowned as one of the best in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. The Holy Grape's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Holy Grape is ranked 228,311th in the world and 4,604th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Populations, with 505 million capita.
