The Fourth Doctor of Tom Baker is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by The Fourth Doctor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, disturbing lack of elderly people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.192 billion Gallifreyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Logopolis. The average income tax rate is 59.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Gallifreyan economy, worth 654 trillion jelly babies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,072 jelly babies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Fourth Doctor's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, scholars are leaving the country at an alarming rate, and The Fourth Doctor will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tom Baker's national animal is the sontaran, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Science.

Tom Baker is ranked 83,922nd in the world and 5th in The Doctors for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 13,353.45 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
