The Republic of Tospern is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning crow population. The hard-working population of 84 million Tospernians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Industry aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.

The strong Tospernian economy, worth 3.89 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 46,270 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and builders across Tospern are blocked up with orders for new public loos. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tospern's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Tospern is ranked 159,390^th in the world and 571^st in Concord for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 37,201.27 Standard Monetary Units.
