The Groot of Groot is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Groot with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.726 billion Groot have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Groot. The average income tax rate is 42.2%.

The powerhouse Groot economy, worth a remarkable 1,217 trillion Groots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 95,698 Groots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, and future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Groot's national animal is the Groot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Groot is ranked 179,184^th in the world and 42^nd in One big Island for Most Extreme, scoring 7.68 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
