The Funhouse of Terror of Tomie is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Tomie Kawakami with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.546 billion serfs 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 tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyōtomie. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient servile economy, worth an astonishing 10,696 trillion neo yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 454,300 neo yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,383,581 per year while the poor average 115,772, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Tomie's national animal is the fushichō, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is servility.

Tomie is ranked 244,750^th in the world and 23^rd in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 568.58 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
