The Most Serene Republic of Tomicstan is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.273 billion Tomicstanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toddograd. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Tomicstanian economy, worth 104 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,141 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomicstan's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Catholic and Apostolic Faith.

Tomicstan is ranked 41,421^st in the world and 36^th in Catholic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,579.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
