The Free Corporation of ToddHowardistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Todd Howard with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 4.607 billion Valued Customers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bethesda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Poor economy, worth 825 trillion Subscriptions a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 179,086 Subscriptions, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,010,194 per year while the poor average 15,621, a ratio of 64.7 to 1.

Citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, and the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. ToddHowardistan's national animal is the Model Employee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atomic Points.

ToddHowardistan is ranked 311,690th in the world and 1st in The Region Of The Region Of DaveRegion for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 3.38 Effective Tax Rate.
