Black magic, I like it.  I think I'd write it like this, however:

class Environment(AutoNumber):

    gaia = 2.0
    fertile = 1.5
    terran = jungle = ocean = arid = steppe = desert = minimal = 1.0
    barren = tundra = dead = inferno = toxic = radiated = 0.5

    def __init__(self, growth_factor):
        self.growth_factor = growth_factor
