The Isle of Tonbay is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lady Shohreh Ben-Shimon with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.024 billion Tonbayians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raan. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Tonbayian economy, worth 347 trillion barzels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 38,475 barzels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lady Shohreh Ben-Shimon has just been declared ruler of Tonbay in an international press conference, Tehom-Elism has been named as Tonbay's national religion, arbitration is mightier than the sword, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tonbay's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Tehom-Elism.

Tonbay is ranked 272,197^th in the world and 41^st in Atlantis for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,739.11 Standard Monetary Units.
