“Para todos todo, para nosotros nada.”

The Democratic Archipelago of The Tofu Islands is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.103 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Referenda are held for every conceivable government action, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, all recreational drugs are legal, and the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Tofu Islands's national animal is the axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the soya bean.

The Tofu Islands is ranked 4th in the region and 12,281st in the world for Largest Publishing Industry.
