The Positive Nation of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Todd with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 38.166 billion Todd enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todd McCloud City. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Todd economy, worth a remarkable 3,491 trillion veskonoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,472 veskonoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and euthanasia is legal. 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 national religion is Vayan Catholicism.

Todd McCloud is ranked 20,906^th in the world and 458^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
