The Grant of Modica is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 25.052 billion Modicans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Modica. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The very strong Modican economy, worth a remarkable 1,451 trillion livroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 57,935 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,980 per year while the poor average 14,699, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, and the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Modica's national animal is the alpine woodpecker and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Modica is ranked 215,528^th in the world and 31^st in Grant for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 976.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
