The Federal Republic of Tonodsia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 289 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 Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 17.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Tonodsian economy, worth 17.7 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,383 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 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 totally unknown. Tonodsia's national animal is the bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Tonodsia is ranked 166,074^th in the world and 1,073^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.74 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
