OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Underground Borough of Groundhoggia is a gargantuan, genial nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 41.609 billion Groundhoggians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Environment, with Education and Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Groundhoggian economy, worth 221 trillion clods a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 5,318 clods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Groundhoggians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime is totally unknown. Groundhoggia's national animal is the marmot monax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Groundhoggia is ranked 12,444th in the world and 1st in 42 Douglas Adams for Most Stationary, with 2,009.47267227 days.
