The Community of Mottarossa is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 431 million Mottarossans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Industry aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The strong Mottarossan economy, worth 22.4 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,994 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime is almost non-existent. Mottarossa's national animal is the animale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mottarossa is ranked 296,291^st in the world and 11^th in Tide for Largest Black Market, with 26.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
