The Stranglehold of Tabcorp Park is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Toxic Dan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.325 billion Tabconians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of East Melton. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tabconian economy, worth 772 trillion Dingleberries a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,175 Dingleberries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Many believe that Toxic Dan's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Dingleberry treacle machine, decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money, and college athletes are arrested for selling lemonade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tabcorp Park's national animal is the Bin Chicken, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chicolic.

Tabcorp Park is ranked 59,090^th in the world and 9^th in Liberty Democratic Alliance for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 578.26 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
