The Fiefdom of Lord Tora is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Toranaga Toraburu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.281 billion Torans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Toran economy, worth a remarkable 2,518 trillion klaws a year, is fairly diversified and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,661 klaws, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 695,888 per year while the poor average 36,590, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Torans, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and there are no minimum wage laws. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lord Tora's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Lord Tora is ranked 283,911^th in the world and 14^th in The Furry Federation for Safest, scoring 3.9 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
