The Republic of Tomboiia is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Tomboiians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Tomboiian economy, worth 661 billion Gears a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,278 Gears, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, and a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal. Crime is almost non-existent. Tomboiia's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tomboiia is ranked 120,665^th in the world and 1,481^st in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 43.68 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
