The Principality of Tolon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.141 billion Toulonnais are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Toulonnais economy, worth 101 trillion TLD Tolon dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 89,376 TLD Tolon dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Not all rivers run to the sea, the latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tolon's national animal is the Tarasque, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tolon is ranked 15,711^th in the world and 76^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,627.41 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
