The Federal Unity of Tomington is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Admiral of Honor Robert Noveau with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.403 billion Tominganders 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Abri. The average income tax rate is 89.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tomingtese economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion Tohms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 188,103 Tohms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, a historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tomington's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Tomington is ranked 13,481^st in the world and 7^th in Sancturia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,418.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
