The Republic of Townsvalley is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister with an even hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.327 billion Citizens are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Environment, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newlands. The average income tax rate is 14.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Townsvalleyian economy, worth 598 trillion Hektes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 71,833 Hektes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, kids are gathering at the local soda shop to celebrate staying out past sundown, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Townsvalley's national animal is the Markhor, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Townsvalley is ranked 286,158th in the world and 6,590th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 4.48546935152 days.
