The Armed Republic of Tomasica is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its enslaved workforce, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 247 million Tomasicans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.1%.

The very strong Tomasican economy, worth 22.1 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,468 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 255,425 per year while the poor average 24,976, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

A broken arm or leg no longer costs an arm and a leg, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and Tomasica City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomasica's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tomasica is ranked 67,286^th in the world and 1,963^rd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
