The Empire of The Toucans is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alex Toucan with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.935 billion Toucans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Education, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newport. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toucansian economy, worth 275 trillion Bird Coins 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Book Publishing, Retail, and Gambling. 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 93,714 Bird Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Toucans's national animal is the Toucan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Toucans is ranked 28,300^th in the world and 3^rd in The Polomon Union for Nicest Citizens, with 19.56 average smiles per day.
