The Fiefdom of Lord Tora is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Toranaga Toraburu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.144 billion Torans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Toran economy, worth a remarkable 2,451 trillion klaws a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,475 klaws, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,007,690 per year while the poor average 17,874, a ratio of 56.4 to 1.

Doctors accused of having no heart reply that cardiology isn't their speciality, Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers, high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, and claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Lord Tora's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Lord Tora is ranked 291,980^th in the world and 15^th in The Furry Federation for Nicest Citizens, with 0.15 average smiles per day.
