The Most Serene Republic of Toons is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Dandy with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 868 million Toons love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gardenview Center. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toon economy, worth 93.5 trillion Ichors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 107,666 Ichors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, government officials have to mortgage their homes to make ends meet, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Toons, and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toons's national animal is the rock dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Toons is ranked 308,920^th in the world and 3,040^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
