The TOTP of MyFriendiStan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Neville John Holder MBE with an iron fist, and renowned for its fear of technology, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.179 billion MyFriendiStanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Far Far Away. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MyFriendiStanian economy, worth 965 trillion florins 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. 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 94,840 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Religious people are committed to mental institutions for treatment, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and a plague of zealots has been unleashed on the streets of Far Far Away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MyFriendiStan's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Slade.

MyFriendiStan is ranked 31,874th in the world and 12th in Testregionia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,465.75 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
