The Funhouse of Terror of Tomie is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tomie Kawakami with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.401 billion serfs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyōtomie. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient servile economy, worth a remarkable 8,051 trillion neo yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 437,543 neo yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, Servile politicians spend a lot of time praising East Lebatuckese policies these days, and children's books regularly feature formerly distressed damsels suing their princes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tomie's national animal is the fushichō, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is servility.

Tomie is ranked 206,941st in the world and 36th in The Alliance of Dictators for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
