The United States of Toa Baja-PR- is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.615 billion Toa Baja-PR-ians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Toa Baja-PR-ian economy, worth 473 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,963 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, surveillance cameras are banned, and schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Toa Baja-PR-'s national animal is the bald eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Toa Baja-PR- is ranked 43,247^th in the world and 381^st in Aerospace for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,412.33 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
