The Democratic Republic of Tonkah is a tiny, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 16 million Tonkahnese are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair Tonkahnese economy, worth 480 billion Rēngs a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 30,058 Rēngs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All new "spies" are fifteen-year-old acne-ridden kids on computers, woefully uninformed voters cast their ballots at random, the image of Tonkah's future is just a picture from last century, and the "Brave New World" program has caused private businesses to spring up faster than the East Lebatuck Wall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tonkah's national animal is the Tonkahnese Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tonkah is ranked 55,150^th in the world and 27^th in Eurth for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 47.62 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
