The Armed Republic of TOALSORA is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maximus Honorius with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 9.905 billion TOALSORAians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toalsora City. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient TOALSORAian economy, worth a remarkable 1,375 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,827 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TOALSORA's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

TOALSORA is ranked 277,953^rd in the world and 3,925^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.87 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
