The Republic of Memory Toll is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.84 billion Memory Tollians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Memory Tollian economy, worth 613 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,785 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, immigrants who don't like the taste of Memory Tollian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, eminent domain has been abolished, and heavily-laden pregnant women are told they can manage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Memory Toll's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Memory Toll is ranked 290,378th in the world and 102nd in Christmas for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -14.28 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
