The Republic of Tofte is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 531 million Tofteans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niugnep. The average income tax rate is 12.1%.

The strong Toftean economy, worth 39.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,280 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Tofte, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tofte's national animal is the penguin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Tofte is ranked 284,535^th in the world and 264^th in Karma for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 549.53 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
