The Kingdom of Toliv is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ivar Nicolaysen with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.69 billion Tolivers 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, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emelle. The average income tax rate is 90.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Toliver economy, worth 386 trillion Tols a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 143,688 Tols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toliv's national animal is the Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meibidism.

Toliv is ranked 17,072^nd in the world and 3^rd in Terras geladas for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 305.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
