The Free Land of Tower Road is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 42.643 billion Tower Roadians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Point Pleasant. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tower Roadian economy, worth a remarkable 3,835 trillion pucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 89,950 pucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government decides its policies by observing the flight of birds, there is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, many junior high school teachers minor in midwifery, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Tower Road's national animal is the lazy boy.

Tower Road is ranked 1,462^nd in the world and 5^th in The Maritimes for Largest Populations, with 42.6 billion capita.
