The Spirited Antexic Borderlands of Ctoki is a huge, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 750 million Ctokians 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cti Oros. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ctokian economy, worth 69.2 trillion Antexic Lxirs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,245 Antexic Lxirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ctoki's national animal is the Sekiian Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ctoki is ranked 130,688^th in the world and 146^th in Declansburg for Most Corrupt Governments, with 5.68 kickbacks per hour.
