The Northern Territories of Tobosarsk is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Joshua of the Praries with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.725 billion Tobosarks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Argosol. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Tobosarkic economy, worth a remarkable 5,015 trillion tobiczes 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 amazing 394,153 tobiczes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends billions to retrieve millions worth of asteroid gold, the government is said to have a martyrdom complex, woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, and celebrity chefs are thought to be the progenitors of all food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tobosarsk's national animal is the lionfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tobosarsk is ranked 1,526^th in the world and 14^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 95,193.56 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
