The Community of Toe-Jam is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Big Toe with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 10.889 billion Toe-Jamians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smelly Toe. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Toe-Jamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,154 trillion Nail Clippings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 106,010 Nail Clippings, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 366,834 per year while the poor average 22,385, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, political detractors refer to Big Toe as 'that Bigtopian puppet', intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Toe-Jam's national animal is the Toenail Fungus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Podophilia.

Toe-Jam is ranked 160,134th in the world and 13th in Stubby Toe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 774.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
