“Respect. Equality. Care.”

The Former TEP Chairman of Todd McCloud is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 7.416 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Law & Order and Defence are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, airport security is provided by private companies, and the Todd McCloud Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. 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, and its currency is the veskono.

Todd McCloud is ranked 2143rd in the region and 41,168th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
