The Grant of Tortona is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Umberto Valentini with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 21.192 billion Tortonese 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, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tortona. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Tortonese economy, worth a remarkable 1,445 trillion livroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 68,208 livroes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 234,006 per year while the poor average 14,591, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Tortona has designated Tortona as its capital city, Umberto Valentini has just been declared ruler of Tortona in an international press conference, Roman Catholicism has been named as Tortona's national religion, and the travel industry is booming as pregnant women book tickets for "weekend trips" overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Tortona's national animal is the Justin's beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Tortona is ranked 209,529^th in the world and 31^st in Grant for Largest Governments, scoring 10.34 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
