The Federal Republic of Tonodsia is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 137 million Tonodsians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.6%.

The strong Tonodsian economy, worth 8.87 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,745 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government has legalised small-scale capitalism, the dartboard at the Tonodsian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police. Crime is well under control. Tonodsia's national animal is the bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tonodsia is ranked 177,623^rd in the world and 1,241^st in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
