“... but some animals are more equal than others”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Animal Farm of Grottammare is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Napoleon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 37.267 billion Grottammareans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Barn. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Grottammarean economy, worth a remarkable 8,210 trillion Old Majors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 220,319 Old Majors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, tabloids coo over Napoleon's expected child, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, and Napoleon reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime is almost non-existent. Grottammare's national animal is the Middle White, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Animalism.

Grottammare is ranked 293,532^nd in the world and 17^th in Caribbean for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -38.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
