“RFNEF Platoon Alpha”

The Free Trade Republic of Totonesium is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.402 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. A large private sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, followed by Retail and Beef-Based Agriculture.

The lowest age at which one can marry has been recently lowered to 12, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, smoking is banned in public areas, and people of faith are sent to twelve-step programs for 'The Cure'. Crime is moderate. Totonesium's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.

Totonesium is ranked 93rd in the region and 47,372nd in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
