The Most Serene Republic of Toons is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Dandy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 780 million Toons enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gardenview Center. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toon economy, worth 86.0 trillion Ichors a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,298 Ichors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Engineers ask liberal arts majors "Do you want fries with that?", resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toons's national animal is the rock dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Toons is ranked 259,250^th in the world and 1,175^th in the Pacific for Largest Populations, with 780 million capita.
