The Positive Nation of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Todd with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.446 billion Todd hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todd McCloud City. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Todd economy, worth a remarkable 2,558 trillion veskonoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,034 veskonoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Todd McCloud's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vayan Catholicism.

Todd McCloud is ranked 4,084^th in the world and 93^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,956.43 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
