The Positive Nation of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Todd with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.58 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 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Todd economy, worth a remarkable 2,693 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 85,278 veskonoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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 3,165^th in the world and 110^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,775.7 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
