The Greater Empire of The Islands of Tonga is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King David Tupou XVII with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 15.956 billion Tongan's enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kava Lund. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tongan economy, worth a remarkable 2,577 trillion Pa'angas 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 161,565 Pa'angas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges, visiting the best Tongan restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, and minor code style errors dull the house edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Islands of Tonga's national animal is the Pacific Golden Plover, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lord Börk.

The Islands of Tonga is ranked 10,057th in the world and 8th in Saint Helene for Highest Poor Incomes, with 124,679.91 Standard Monetary Units.
