The Empire of Toowoon is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 56 million Toowoonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.9%.

The Toowoonian economy, worth 2.97 trillion Toowoonian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 53,117 Toowoonian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Just as students finish their homework it's time for school, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toowoon's national animal is the Wedge Tail Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Toowoon is ranked 154,302^nd in the world and 29^th in Mediterranean for Highest Drug Use, scoring 17.6 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
