The Grant of Desantorica is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Marcella Ghirardelli with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 24.143 billion Desantoricans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fromesino. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Desantorican economy, worth 609 trillion livroes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 25,258 livroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory, Desantorica has designated Fromesino as its capital city, Marcella Ghirardelli has just been declared ruler of Desantorica in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Desantorica's national religion. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Desantorica's national animal is the metallic butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Desantorica is ranked 241,772nd in the world and 105th in Grant for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
