The Holy Hellenic Empire of Tolerian Empire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Most Holy Emperor Tolerith with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.671 billion Tolerians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anthiria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tolerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,750 trillion Tolerian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,824 Tolerian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lending firms are subject to strict government regulations, the armed forces pride themselves on being conventional and predictable, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and the word "robot" is considered to be etymologically offensive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tolerian Empire's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tolerian Hellenism.

Tolerian Empire is ranked 4,191^st in the world and 6^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Corrupt Governments, with 249.42 kickbacks per hour.
