The Groot of Groot is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Groot with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 17.336 billion Groot enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groot. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Groot economy, worth a remarkable 1,533 trillion Groots a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,473 Groots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Groot's national animal is the Groot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Groot is ranked 145,591st in the world and 40th in One big Island for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,405.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
