The Federated Communes of Toriski is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Mikita Guevara-Noceda with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.847 billion Toriskians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Latissa. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toriskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,559 trillion Kits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,339 Kits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, the parliament doubled in size recently, people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, and daring to agree with another politician is grounds for instant dismissal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toriski's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pluralism.

Toriski is ranked 190,036^th in the world and 25^th in The United Federations for Largest Black Market, with 574 billion Standard Monetary Units.
