The Free Land of Tower Road is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 37.578 billion Tower Roadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point Pleasant. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tower Roadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,383 trillion pucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 90,032 pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, the government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, and many junior high school teachers minor in midwifery. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tower Road's national animal is the lazy boy.

Tower Road is ranked 83,998^th in the world and 11^th in The Maritimes for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,027.23 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
