The Positive Nation of Todd McCloud is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Todd with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 36.219 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 Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Todd McCloud City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Todd economy, worth a remarkable 3,214 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 88,738 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 310,335^th in the world and 7,636^th in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -12.77 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
