The Free Land of Tori is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.34 billion Torians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.5%.

The Torian economy, worth 92.2 trillion lire 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Cheese Exports, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 39,402 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, every workday begins with group therapy, and many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Tori's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Tori is ranked 189,425^th in the world and 91^st in Serenity for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 325.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
