The Protectorate of T0NKIN is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.934 billion Frenchmen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 10.9%.

The strong T0NKINian economy, worth 164 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,907 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. T0NKIN's national animal is the Gallic Rooster, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

T0NKIN is ranked 261,946^th in the world and 7^th in Institute of Cellulose for Highest Drug Use, scoring 45.7 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
