The My Time Draws Short of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Todd with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 14.528 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todd McCloud City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Gambling, and Book Publishing industries.

Protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise, Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Todd McCloud's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Vayan Catholicism, and its currency is the veskono.

Todd McCloud is ranked 1st in The East Pacific and 9th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 755 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
